BRAVO ZULU MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
The Battle of Kwajalein marked the opening of the campaign for the Marshall Islands.

Using armor-piercing shells from closer range, the Navy devastated the thin Japanese defensive line. The victory at Kwajalein in February 1944 marked the first time the Americans advanced into territory held by Japan prior to the war.
