In World War II, the American strategy was, primarily, "Europe First". Most of the troops, and the majority of the aircraft, were devoted to winning the war against Germany. Japan, Roosevelt thought, could be left to simmer on its own.
However, there were substantial Navy forces that weren't especially required for the European conflict, and so Navy forces were used in the Pacific. Following the victory in the Battle of Midway (June 1942) the Japanese were on the defensive; after losing four aircraft carriers, they really didn't have much offensive capability. The primary strategy there was "island hopping"; destroy and occupy only the important islands (the ones with airfields) and bypassing and isolating the more lightly-fortified islands.
