No, Him and his troops attacked the Union Army
the army 7th division company H were the first to land and take iwo jima
Yes, there were thousands of United States military personnel at the Battle of Iwo Jima.
For the USMC it was Iwo Jima. For the US Army & US Navy it was Okinawa. The kamikazes did most of the damage at Okinawa.
Since the Marines are the first in, the USMC engineers must provide demolition, maintenance, repairs, and construction to have the theater combat ready when the fighting troops arrive. The Army engineers provide the same service after the Marines are gone and the Army has taken over the military operations.
yes
yesAnswerI don't think there was any Army Ranger battalion at Iwo Jima. This was a Marine amphibious landing. Now there were specialized troops within the Marines and some could have been called "rangers". At one time there was a Marine Paratroopers but these were quickly disbanded. My answer is No.The 6th Ranger Battalion did carry out the only successful POW rescue mission on the Phillipines.
