Overview:
Having spent the first year of the war patrolling the Mexican border, by 1943 1st Cavalry Division was alerted for overseas duty in February with all of their normal equipment-submachine guns, carbines, a Colt .45 for each trooper, and other gear-except horses. After staging in New Guinea for its first combat action, Brewer Task Force was officially constituted on 26 February under the command of General Innis P. Swift. Moving out on 29 February to begin its "island hop" through the Japanese-held Admiralty Islands, elements of Brewer Task Force landed on the island of Los Negros in an operation that was personally directed by General MacArthur and called a "reconnaissance in force." At Hyane Harbor they took the Japanese Army by surprise and the first objective-Momote airdrome-was secured by dusk. Resistance was initially light but by the third night Colonel Yoshio Ezaki, the Commander of the Admiralty Islands garrison, had assembled enough troops from the various units to make a strong attack on the airdrome.Attacker: Japanese (2nd Battalion, 1st Independent Mixed Regiment)
Defender: American (Troop G, 2nd Squadron, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 99th Field Artillery Battery and 673rd AA Machine Gun Battery, 1st Cavalry Division)
