NOTE. – The above redistribution left 5 Indian Division, which had been withdrawn to rest in the Kohima area, in Army reserve. 17 Indian Division, allotted to 4 Corps, was still in India, but would be available for exploitation. The organization of these two Divisions was being changed; in each of them two brigade groups were being motorised, and one brigade group made air-transportable.

A.L.F.S.E.A. reserve (in India) consisted of 23 Indian Division, but it would be joined by 11 (East African) Division (already withdrawn) and Lushai Brigade (about to be withdrawn).

(a) To capture or construct airfields in the Ye-U – Shwebo areas.

(b) To capture Monywa.

(c) To capture Mandalay.

(d) To be prepared to advance on the general axis Mandalay – Nyaunglebin.
