COMBAT! Episode Guide -- Syndicated Order This is the order that the episodes are usually run in syndication. It probably corresponds closely to the production order of the episodes. The first number is the syndication order, the second number is the order it ran in that season, and the date is the original airing date. For example, the entry: 11. 12-18-62 A Day In June Means that the episode "A Day in June" is the first episode aired in syndication, that it was originally the eleventh episode aired in Season One, and the first air date was December12, 1962.
