Which of the following events is associated with the Merrill Marauders?

Merrill Marauders were a U.S. Army long-range jungle unit operating in the China-Burma-India theater, tasked with penetrating into Japanese-held territory to disrupt supply lines and keep pressure on Japanese forces in northern Burma. Their most notable achievement in that campaign was the capture of the Myitkyina airfield, a critical objective that secured an air link into northern Burma and helped open air operations into China. The other events occurred in different theaters or contexts: a 1942 carrier raid on Tokyo, a major 1942 Pacific naval battle, and a prolonged siege in the Soviet Union, none of which are associated with this unit.
