The goal of the Allies in the CBI theater was to
supply
and reinforce the Chinese forces in their fight against the Japanese
invaders.
Japan occupation of China's seaports had cut off the normal supply
route.
Therefore, the Allies moved equipment, personnel and supplies to China
through India (by flying the "Hump Route" over the Himalayas) and Burma
(through construction of roads and pipelines).
