The plans chosen by Bose and Masakazu Kawabe, chief of the Burma space army, envisaged the INA being assigned an impartial sector within the U-Go offensive. For operational purposes, the Subhas Brigade was positioned underneath the command of the Japanese General Headquarters in Burma. Advance events of the Bahadur Group additionally went ahead with superior Japanese items. As the offensive opened, the INA's 1st Division, consisting of four guerrilla regiments, was divided between U Go and the diversionary Ha-Go offensive in Arakan.
