In this episode, we examine the 5th Marine Regiment’s role in the brutal Battle of Peleliu. As part of the 1st Marine Division, the 5th Marines were tasked with seizing the island’s strategically vital airfield. They advanced across open terrain under withering fire, securing the airfield despite intense Japanese resistance and extreme environmental conditions. By mid-October, after nearly a month of combat, the 5th Marines were physically spent and heavily depleted.
