   Very late on Sunday afternoon, 18 February 1945, Major Lawson B. Caskey, the 2d Battalion 503d Parachute Infantry commander sent his S3 Lieutenant Lawrence Browne, the plans and training officer, to D Company to issue the defense orders for the night. The 2d Battalion staff officer did not arrive in the company area until very late that afternoon. Browne had just come from F Company's position on Way Hill, 600 yards east of Wheeler point where he had given F Company its orders.

   Late in the afternoon of the 22nd Captain Lawrence Browne came to the "E" Company Command Post from the 2nd Battalion CP up the line in the 59th Coast Artillery Barracks. Larry had a new assignment for "E" Company to take on the next day.
   
   "C" Company, from the 1st Battalion had been attacking to the West along the South Shore Road and had been stopped by a persistent Japanese force at Searchlight Point.
   ...
   The mission, as expressed by Captain Browne, was for "E" Company to push on and take Wheeler Point, eliminating all Japanese forces along the way.
   ...
   Browne and Hill studied the inadequate map available to the 2nd Battalion and perused several aerial photos but without much help in learning what we would run into.
   ...
   Browne and Hill made their way past Battery Wheeler towards Battery Cheney to a place where the road passed next to the cliff above Wheeler Point.
   ...
   Arrangements, however, were made with Captain Browne for Naval Gunfire and air support to be available along with machine gun and bazooka fire from the top of the cliff.
   ...
   A call from Captain Browne informed us the ship had been called away on an emergency.
   ...
   Our communications with Captain Browne at the top of the cliff were sketchy but we gathered that Air Corps or 75 mm artillery from the 462nd were out of the picture.
