After invading Italy, the 3rd Infantry Division begins to hit the Germans
hard in an effort to assist the 10th Army. As the 3rd Infantry Division
approaches the Volturno River, a key bridge has been blown up by the Germans
hindering the American approach. The 7th Regiment's mission is to secure a beach head
upriver as the main effort of the 3rd Division's river crossing operation.
The 15th Infantry regiment is to conduct a diversionary effort below the
main effort to fool the Germans about the location of the actual operation. Corporal
Murphy's squad is selected to cross the river and raid a German position as
part of this diversionary effort. Corporal Murphy successfully leads this raid.
