Yes, this is out of order (it's book 6 of The Corps). I went out and remedied my lack of a copy (I probably read Joel's copy when it first came out).
This one is from the close the battle to keep Guadalcanal, and follows the characters to other assignments, including a war bond tour. Also has bits of setup for other things, including the Philippine guerilla supply mission. Doesn't seem to be a particular story thread running through it, but fun to read anyway.
