Palagan Tiongkok Burma India (CBI) atau Teater Tiongkok Burma India adalah sebutan militer Amerika Serikat selama Perang Dunia II untuk teater Tiongkok dan Asia Tenggara atau India-Burma (IBT). Komando operasional pasukan Sekutu (termasuk pasukan Amerika Serikat) dalam CBI secara resmi merupakan tanggung jawab Komandan Tertinggi untuk Asia Tenggara atau Tiongkok. Namun, pasukan Amerika Serikat dalam praktik biasanya diawasi oleh Jenderal Joseph Stilwell, Wakil Komandan Sekutu di Tiongkok; istilah "CBI" penting dalam hal logistik, materi, dan personel; umumnya digunakan di Amerika Serikat untuk palagan-palagan ini.

Unit-unit Sekutu yang terkenal di CBI termasuk Pasukan Ekspedisi Tiongkok, Harimau Terbang,[1] unit transportasi dan pesawat pengebom yang menerbangi The Hump, Sayap Operasi Khusus ke-1, para insinyur yang membangun Jalan Ledo, Unit Gabungan ke-5307 (Sementara), populer dikenal sebagai Merrill's Marauders, dan Brigade 5332d, Sementara atau 'Satuan Tugas Mars', yang mengemban misi Marauders.

Strategi Amerika Serikat untuk Tiongkok

In 1941 the U.S. made a series of decisions to support China in its war with Japan. Lend Lease supplies were provided after President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced the defense of China to be vital to the defense of the United States. Over the summer, as Japan moved south into French Indo-China, the U.S., Britain and the Netherlands instituted an oil embargo on Japan, cutting off 90% of its supplies. Japan cut off Allied supplies to China that had been coming through Burma. China could be supplied only by flying over the Himalaya mountains ("The Hump") from India,[2] or capturing territory in Burma and building a new road—the Ledo Road.[3][4]
