President Munson begins to show signs of strain as the challenges facing the nation multiply and resources continue to diminish. Communication is growing increasingly difficult as emergency equipment begins to fail after months of heavy use and fuel tanks of even the longest-lived post-strike emergency facilities run dry.

The 16th Marine Regiment, the remnant of the 6th Marine Division, engages Soviet troops along the new front line in Korea.

The Dutch 103rd Recon Battalion begins to incorporate local police and militia units into itself, to maintain its strength and centralize control.

In Iran, the 101st Air Assault Division is reunited for the first time in months with the return of its aviation elements from Saudi Arabia. With the return of its aircraft, the Screaming Eagles form up at Bushehr and take part in the clearing operations in the Bushehr-Shiras-Bandar Abbas triangle. The division's unmatched mobility allows it to undertake highly effective search and destroy missions, able to insert blocking forces behind armed bands that are fleeing other Allied forces.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
