Synopsis for "Action on Aru Atoll!"
Combat Casey and Penny Pennington are part of Able Company who have been charged with clearing out Aru Atoll of Japanese forces. When the ships arrive they find that the atoll has a large mountain with dug outs loaded with Japanese machine gunners that keep the American troops pinned on the beech. The commanding officer calls in an air strike and naval barrages that have no effect.
With no progress, Combat and Penny volunteer to try to get close to the mountain with explosives. They toss a stick of dynamite into one of the caves, but it is grabbed by a Japanese soldier who jumps down to blow them up, but Combat knocks him out and the two Americans drag their prisoner back behind their lines. Searching their prisoner, Penny finds a Japanese almanac and able to read Japanese learns that that the atoll sinks into the ocean yearly and calls for all the troops to retreat. As the almanac predicted the atoll begins to sink, drowning all the enemy soldiers on it.

Synopsis for "Combat Casey"
France, June 6, 1944: Combat Casey and Penny Pennington are among troops loaded in glider planes to land into combat areas. However their glider is struck by enemy fire and crashes on Nazi headquarters. Spotted by enemy troops, Combat and the others attack, beating them into submission and taking them as prisoners. Going into the building they find maps detailing where the Nazis have their defences set up. They take the map but are ambushed by a commanding officer. But easily trounce him as well.
Combat and Penny then force him to call the toll gate and let them through in a command car, but the commanding officer betrays them. Penny, knowing enough German realizes the double cross. With enemy troops about to surround them, Combat and the others spot an American tow plane and signal it for help. Climbing back up to their glider, they use a flag pole to hold up their tow line so that they can be pulled away to safety.

On guard along the front lines, Combat Casey and Penny Pennington spot communist soldiers leading to a battle. Fighting off the enemy troops, Combat and Penny stop them from their mission: stealing American c-rations, confirming stories that the Chinese are running low on food supplies. They are soon met by a Korean farmer who asks the American troops to help defend their rice crops which are being robbed by the Chinese as well.
