Miller's Recon Team was assigned to scout out Makin Atoll relatively on their own, and ended up getting caught, tortured, and most of them killed. Miller and Cook were the only survivors of the recon team. K. Pyle's throat was slit, H. Nelson, M. McCord and Henderson were beaten to death, Luyties was executed and Cook was evacuated via assault raft right after being saved, leaving Miller to fight his way out with the Marine Raiders. In the trailer for World at War, at least eight Marine Raiders are depicted.[citation needed]
