The Battle of Tarawa was the first time in the Pacific War that the United States faced serious Japanese opposition to an amphibious landing. Previous landings had met little or no initial resistance, but on Tarawa the 4,500 Japanese defenders were well supplied and well prepared, and they fought almost to the last man, exacting a heavy toll on the Marines. Roughly 1000 Marines would be killed in 76 hours on Tarawa. 🪖 | 746th Army Air Force Band
