APPENDIX PROBABLE SITUATION IN JANUARY, 1946. 1. Since the arrival of British troops in F.I.C. and N.E.I., it has been clearly stated that their tasks would be limited to action necessary to carry out the disarmament, concentration and evacuation of the Japanese, and to the protection and evacuation of RAPWI. The RAPWI tasks in F.I.C. will have been completed when the bulk of the forces have been withdrawn in January. All Japanese forces in F.I.C. will have been disarmed and concentrated under guard.
