Guadalcanal and Tulagi - Part 8
Manage episode 394153297 series 2576851
The US Army’s arrival brought reinforcements and a reorganization of American troops. New tactics, like flamethrowers and enhanced naval gunfire, were introduced, though terrain and enemy fortifications remained challenging. The 1st Marine Division, weakened by malaria and extended combat, was finally relieved and sent to Australia for some much-needed rest.
We end the episode by touching on how Guadalcanal advanced amphibious warfare doctrines and technology and improved coordination between military branches.
