There may have been more than one, but the one that made the news was, of course, Corregidor (not sure if the spelling is right), which was the location of a fortress which was assumed to be impregnable. The troops were US Army ---not Marines. Marines were used later to re-capture many of the islands and allowed the army to return to Philippines. Several "army" infantry Divisions fought throughout the Philippines during the liberation, which allowed General MacArthur to return. If you are doing the "World War II" crossword puzzle, like I assume you are, the answer is BATAAN.
