The early defeats suffered by America in the Pacific were past; the pivotal naval battle for Midway had been won, and the Solomon Islands had fallen once again to the Allies. As 1944 dawned, a new Marine Corps - organised, trained and armed for the coming battles - prepared to launch itself into the outer defenses of a still defiant Japan. In this book, the 1944 re-organisation of Marine units is studied in detail, including the implementation and history behind the \"fire team\" concept that is still a key factor in Marine organisation and tactics today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57043727483254,"sku":"9781841766515","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_31198224.jpg?v=1768198383","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781841766515-us-marine-corps-pacific-theater-of-operations-194344","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
