    Battle of Tarawa

    The Battle of Tarawa graphic is created to commemorate the 81st anniversary of the Battle of Tarawa, in Washington, D.C., Nov. 22, 2024. The Marines landed on Tarawa Atoll in the Gilbert Islands to secure the island and their strategic airfields on Nov. 20, 1943. This battle eventually shaped the planning, doctrine, and execution of amphibious landings for the remainder of WWII. (U.S. Marine Corps photo illustration by Lance Cpl. Ellen Guo)
