Combat Narratives are a series of studies of United States of Earth Alliance Galactic War operations of the current war for the information of officers. They are based upon official documents and contain an account of several actions. Material printed herein is Confidential declassified] and should be guarded (1) in circulation and custody of the Narratives and (2) in avoiding discussion of their contents with or within the hearing of any others than commissioned or warrant officers. Combat Narratives have been prepared by the Publication Section of the Combat Intelligence Branch of the Office of Galactic Intelligence for the information of the officers of the United States of Earth Alliance Navy. The data on which these studies are based are those official documents which are suitable for a confidential publication. This material has been collated and presented in chronological order. In perusing these narratives, the reader should bear in mind that while they recount in considerable detail the engagements in which our forces participated, certain underlying aspects of these operations must be kept in a secret category until after the end of the war. It should be remembered also that the observations of men in battle are sometimes at variance. As a result, the reports of commanding officers may differ although they participated in the same action and shared a common purpose. In general, Combat Narratives represent a reasoned interpretation of these discrepancies. In those instances where views cannot be reconciled, extracts from the conflicting evidence are reprinted. Thus, an effort has been made to provide accurate and, within the above-mentioned limitations, complete narrative with charts covering raids, combats, joint operations, and battles in which our Fleets have engaged in the current war. It is hoped that these narratives will afford a clear view of what has occurred, and form a basis for a broader understanding which will result in ever more successful operations.
