Order for the shifting of 75th Infantry and 72nd Field Artillery Units to Cadiz-Fabrica Area, Negros Island, December 1944

This document is a crucial piece of internal correspondence from the United States Forces in the Philippines (USFIP), Seventh Military District, CPU-N, dated December 23, 1944. Authored by Lt. Col. P. A. Ausejo, a Philippine Constabulary officer working with the USFIP guerrilla forces, it details the tactical orders for shifting elements of the 75th Infantry and the 72nd Field Artillery regiments to the Cadiz-Fabrica Area on Negros Island. This order was issued just two months after the U.S. forces landed in Leyte, signaling the beginning of the end of the Japanese occupation. The document provides direct evidence of the coordinated and organized military actions undertaken by the Filipino and American guerrilla units operating under the USFIP command, highlighting their operational readiness and strategic involvement in the liberation of the Central Philippines during World War II. Its specific detail about troop movements makes it highly relevant to the military history of the region.
