It was decided that operations in the Balkans should be limited to supplying guerrillas, whereas operations against Japan would be intensified in order to exhaust Japanese resources, cut their communications lines, and secure forward bases from which the Japanese mainland could be attacked.
Det blev besluttet at operationerne på Balkan skulle begrænses til at forsyne modstandsbevægelserne, mens operationerne mod Japan skulle optrappes med henblik på at udtømme de japanske ressourcer, afskære deres kommunikationslinjer og sikre fremskudte baser hvorfra de japanske hovedøer kunne angribes.
