The island hopping strategy was employed by Allied forces during World War II to bypass heavily fortified Japanese positions and capture strategically important islands. By securing these key locations, such as Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, the Allies could establish bases for air and naval operations, thereby cutting off Japanese supply lines and weakening their overall military presence. This approach allowed for more efficient use of resources and minimized casualties, ultimately leading to the successful offensive toward Japan’s home islands.

The strategy was known as island hopping.
Island hopping During World War 2, Allied strategy of capturing Japenese held islands to gain control of the Pacific. Island hopping was a strategy used in the Pacific theater whereby selected islands were secured by allied forces (usually the marines). Usually, these islands would have some strategic value (like an airfield or anchorage) which helped to move the fight closer to Japan. Many islands were bypassed because of significant Japanese defenses. As we "hopped" from island to island, we were able to shorten the distance to Japan and establish forward land bases for supply purposes.
