Really not until 1944. There had been fighting in the Solomon Islands in 1942-3, and in the Gilbert Islands in late 1943. Also on New Guinea in 1943.
Only about fifteen per cent of the US war effort went into the Pacific, because the US was committed to a strategy, with Great Britain, of defeating "Germany first". The Pacific War was carried on largely by the US Navy, with its six divisions of Marines, plus about fifteen US Army divisions, and a small portion of the US Army Air Force.
The Allied landings at Normandy in France on June 6, 1944, are remembered today as "the largest amphibious assault of all time". Whats not often remembered is that nine days after the Normandy landings, halfway around the world, another amphibious attack almost as big began the US conquest of the Mariana Islands, Saipan, Tinian and Guam. By that point the US had reached peak strength on the sea, in the air and on land, and was beginning the final push to victory.
