  • WWII E136 Marines Capture Roi-Namur

    WWII E136 Marines Capture Roi-Namur
    Apr 28 2025

    At Kwajalein and Roi-Namur, months of rehearsals, better intel, and hard-earned Tarawa lessons came together. The 4th Marine Division, fresh off the boat from Pendleton, made its combat debut alongside Army units already blooded in the Aleutians. They landed under real air cover, backed by real logistics, and fought smart, clearing bunkers with tanks and torches instead of charging into fire.

  • WWII E135 Lessons of Tarawa: Marines Adapt in the Marshalls

    WWII E135 Lessons of Tarawa: Marines Adapt in the Marshalls
    Apr 21 2025

    After the brutal learning curve at Tarawa, the Marine Corps came into this fight prepared, equipped, and determined to lead the next phase of the war. For the first time, their landings were backed by meaningful fire support and rehearsed coordination. The chaos of earlier battles gave way to calculated strikes. This episode follows their path from the surf of Roi-Namur to the contested terrain of Kwajalein. Along the way, we’ll explore the courage that carried them forward, the lessons that reshaped their doctrine, and the heroism that defined this campaign.

  • WWII E134 Chaos at Dawn: Tanks and Flamethrowers at Tarawa

    WWII E134 Chaos at Dawn: Tanks and Flamethrowers at Tarawa
    Apr 14 2025

    The initial assault was chaotic—coral reefs slowed the approach, landing craft were wrecked, and units came ashore under heavy fire. But by the second and third days, the situation began to change. Officers like Shoup, Edson, and Jones made key decisions, reinforcements came in, and tanks managed to cross the reef. Despite exhaustion and limited ground, the Marines pushed inland.

    Today’s episode focuses on that shift—from securing the beach to pressing the attack. We’ll look at how the 1st Battalion 8th Marines broke through, how Crowe and Jones coordinated flanking movements, and how tanks helped turn the momentum. We’ll also cover the Japanese night assaults and the close-quarters fighting that defined the battle’s turning point. Tarawa remained brutal, but these days marked the start of a hard-fought advance.
