A subsequent proposal to transfer the 66th Regiment from the Palaus, where it was being rebuilt after suffering heavy losses, to the Admiralties was also unsuccessful as IGHQ believed that the Eighteenth Army had greater need for this unit.
Et senere forslag om at overføre 66. regiment fra Palau, hvor det var under genopbygning efter at have lidt svære tab, til Admiralitetsøerne blev heller ikke til noget, da overkommandoen mente, at den 18. armé havde mere brug for denne enhed.
