After the enormous casualties the Marines suffered at Tawara the US realized the need for an extended overwhelming showing of fire power. Kwajalien. As a response Kwajalien was shelled so intensely that the Japanese were unable to even respond the first few hours the US Infantry (Army)  landed troops. The Island was described as looking like it had been dropped from 20,000 feet in the air, a total shambles. The Army took the island fairly rapidly and though the Japanese tried to fight is was over quickly.

This is one of the few times everything worked for the US, but it was still a fight.
