Throughout the war to date, With standard dive bombing attacks (60 degree dive, T.A.S. 220 fighter machine-gun fire has proved the most effective means of knots, release at 2000 feet), either the 500-pound SAP or the attacking planes, both in the air and on the ground.

The same angle and approach would be best for rocket attacks. In addition, grounded planes can be attacked by bombing. By GP bombs are another far the most effective type is the 20-pound Frag, bomb, (from possibility for minimum altitude attack if made from the front; minimum altitude the 23-pound Frags, with parachute must be used) however, the vertical target area presented is small.

With horizontal bombing from altitudes of 5000 feet, 500- pound GP bombs willprobably perforate the roof of earth and log structures. The same bomb will perforate similar installations using dive bombing with release at 3500 feet. Against concrete structures, 1000 SAP bombs dropped from altitudes above 5000 feet I in horizontal bombing or released at above 2000 feet in dive bomb- ing will perforate a three-foot roof slab of average strength. Earth cover will reduce perforation. Since large bombs are required and chances of hits are very small, bombing attacks are not likely to be effective.

A large 'bomb detonating under sufficient thickness of earth cover and within a few feet of a thick concrete wall is capa- ble of demolishing the wall. If there is a probability of striking a sloping cushion of earth over five feet thick in front of the concrete, a GP bomb dropped in minimum altitude or low level glide bombing attack may be effective. For such attacks, the 2000-pound GP is best. Such conditions may exist with some of the dug- in pill- boxes.

In general, pillboxes are better attacked by some other means. Artillery and naval gunfire are capable of demolishing such fortifications. Bombing with GP bombs fuzed 0.01 delay may assist by clearing away earth cover and camouflage.

This defense unit (Bobitai) has at least four CD Batteries, three Defense Stations and eight lookout stations under its command. They are scattered throughout the NANSEI SHOTO. These units may come under the tactical command of the Commander of the island on which they are located. This defense unit (Bobitai) is very fluid in organization and it is probable that with the growing importance of the NANSEI SHOTO this unit will increase in size and importance, from a Naval standpoint. Estimate of Army and Naval Ground Strength. There is prac- tically no documentary information on the composition of the gar- risions of this island, beyond the fact that it was occupied, prior to the MARIANAS operation, by fortress units (including infantry and heavy artillery (12 cm)). The ordering of the Commanding Officer of one of the major units, thereof to command the Ist Infan- try Group of the 44th Independent Miffed Brigade makes it appear that they were reorganized into that ibrigade. Similar reorganiza- tions have been knpwn to have bewi carried out on other islands.
