Following the capture of Tarawa in November 1943 during World War II
(1939-1945), American eyes turned to the Marshall Islands. These were
the next vital stepping-stone across the Pacific towards Japan, and
would bring the islands of Guam and Saipan within the reach of US
forces. In their first amphibious attack, the new 4th Marine Division
landed on Roi and Namur islands on 1 February 1944, while US 7th
Division landed on Kwajalein. At the time this was the longest
shore-to-shore amphibious assault in history. The lessons of the bloody
fighting on Tarawa had been well learned and the successful attack on
the Marshalls set the pattern for future amphibious operations in the
Pacific War.
