Private Army

IN THIS SEQUEL TO DESERT PATROL LT. COL. JOHN RANDAL RETURNS IN PRIVATE ARMY Raiding Forces is undergoing a major reorganization to be better able to carry out small-scale raids against Rommel's only hard-topped road, the Via Balbia. It runs along the coast from Tripoli to Tobruk. The plan is for Raiding Forces to be able to strike from the desert out of the Great Sand Sea with gun jeeps and from the Mediterranean using amphibious DUKWs. While this is taking place, the unit is alerted to the invasion of Persia. U.S. Army personnel who have resigned from the army in order to volunteer for the Middle East contingent of the American Volunteer Group (AVG) arrive and are integrated into the unit.
