  abstract: Examines the planning, preparation and execution of ground operations for five major invasions in the Central Pacific (Guadalcanal, Tarawa, the Marshalls, Saipan and Okinawa). The commanders on the ground had to integrate the US Army and Marine Corps into a single striking force, something that would have been difficult in peacetime, but in the midst of a great global war, it was a monumental task. Yet, ultimate success in the Pacific rested on this crucial, if somewhat strained, partnership and its accomplishments. Despite the thousands of works covering almost every aspect of World War II in the Pacific, until now no one has examined the detailed mechanics behind this transformation at the corps and division level.
  table of contents: Guadalcanal: the ad hoc operation -- The Gilberts: parallel operations -- The Marshalls: perfect operations -- Saipan: Smith versus Smith -- Okinawa: final victory -- Conclusion.
