A mobile mortar crew from the U.S. Army operates a 4.2 inch mobile mortar. The shirtless U.S. Army soldiers fire multiple shells rapidly. A soldier using a field telephone receives information on a new Japanese enemy position and the mortar crew disassembles the weapon in a practiced manner. The soldiers load the heavy mortar into a two-wheeled cart, which is lifted into the bed of a truck to be transported to the new position. The crew unloads the mortar and wheeled cart from the truck and runs toward their destination. Men follow behind with ammunition boxes. At the new position the crew swiftly reassembles the mortar, laying for fire. A soldier is hoisted up to an observation post in a tree. Wide view of the surrounding jungle and wetland with Mount Bagana in the background. The narrator notes that the Japanese have been located at the base of the mountain. Close up shots of the mortar crew loading and firing shells toward the Japanese position.
