The Battle for Iwo Jima
Location: Volcanic island 660 miles south of Tokyo Size: 2 miles wide by 4 miles long (8 sm) Background: Summer/Fall 1944
Even before ground operations to secure the Mariana Islands of Guam, Saipan, and Tinian ended, U.S. Naval construction battalions were already clearing land for air bases suitable for the new B-2E ´6XSHUIRUPUHVVHVBµ 7OHVH OXJH NRPNHUV OMG M UMQJH capable of reaching the Japanese Home Islands. The first B- 29bombing runs began in October 1944. But there was a problem³ Japanese fighters taking off from tiny Iwo Jima were intercepting B-
29s, as well as attacking the Mariana airfields. The U.S.
determined that Iwo Jima must be captured. The Battle: U.S. Marines invaded Iwo Jima on February 19, 1945, after months of naval and air bombardment. The Japanese defenders of the island were dug into bunkers deep within the volcanic rocks. Approximately 70,000 U.S. Marines and 18,000 Japanese soldiers took part in the battle. In thirty-six days of fighting on the island, nearly 7,000 U.S. Marines were killed. Another 20,000 were wounded. Marines captured 216 Japanese soldiers; the rest were killed in action. The island was finally declared secured on March 6, 1945. It had been one of the bloodiest battles in MarineCorps history.
After the battle, Iwo Jima served as an emergency landing site for more than 2,200 B-29 bombers, sa ving the lives of 24,000 U.S. airmen. Securing Iwo Jima prepared the way for the last and largest battle in the Pacific: the invasion of Okinawa. The Flag Raising: The flag-raising atop Mt. Suribachi took place on February 23,1945; five days after the battle began. Associated Press
