[edit] Operations

The article says "In February 1944 six combat teams - coded Blue, Green, Khaki, Orange, Red and White - began a 1000-mile march over the Himalayas and through jungle to Burma."

The hills on the Burma-India border are the Patkai Range. Although they might be considered to be a branch of the Himalayas, they are much lower. Saying that MM crossed the Himalayas produces images of them climbing glaciers and other aspects of extreme mountaineering.Vgy7ujm 05:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

That makes sense, although the references that I had read on the subject had simply listed them as the Himalayas. I suppose they were written that way to make it easier for people to understand the area in question. I'll go ahead and clarify that section. EvilCouch 05:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
