Description
Film begins with a detonation on an unidentified beach somewhere in the South Pacific. LSTs and LCTs deliver Marine troops and vehicles. Among the vehicles are half-tracks and trucks (some towing light artillery), and bulldozers. A Lockeed Ventura (PV-1) overflies the beach. General conditions of Marines on beach suggest that they are returning from a campaign or that new replacements are arriving.
