Geocache Description:

This straightforward cache is intended to commemorate the Red Ball Express of World War 2 fame.

The given coordinates are for a parking lot near some very visible large red balls.

First, before you set out, determine:

A = # of letters in the name of the country where the RBE operated _________

B = year the RBE operated _______

Then, at the site,

C = # of large red balls ______

Coords for the final container are:

40 1.D

-105 15.E

where

D = (B+A)/C + 153

and

E = D + 5

Final (pill jar) is less than 200 yards from initial coords. Log only, no pen. In keeping with the military theme, you are looking for what might pass as a lightly armored bunker for tiny soldiers.
