Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I te tau 1943, i tono a Hōhepa Stilwell kia tohaina ngā ope motuhake o te ope taua o Amerika hei tautoko i ngā ope taua o te ope taua o Haina i raro i tana whakahau. I whakaaetia e te Tumuaki George Marshall tētahi "Hōpaki Whakauru Roa", i whakauruhia mai i ngā hōia o te US Army i whakaakona ki te whawhai i roto i te ngahere i Panama me te whenua o Te Hononga o Amerika, tae atu ki ngā kaimahi whai wheako whawhai tata i roto i te Solomon Islands
me ngā pakanga o New Guinea. I tapaina te waeine ko te 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), engari i rongonui ko "Merrill's Marauders"; i whakahaerehia e ia nga mahi i Burma i te 1944.
