Two days later, the US Army 81st Infantry Division ("Wildcat Division") invaded Angaur. Angaur had a much smaller garrison, and was secured within a few days. At the same time, the Marines on Peleliu were running into much heavier resistance than anticipated. Two regiments of the 81st were transferred to Peleliu to relieve the Marines and continue the battle. The third regiment of the 81st proceeded north to secure the atoll of Ulithi. Once Ulithi was secured, the remaining 81st ID troops returned to Peleliu to participate in mopping up operations.
