Leap frogging or island hopping was how the Allies fought the Japanese in World War II. They concentrated on a few key islands that advanced their drive to Japan. They did not try to take every island. Admiral Nimitz took the Gilbert and Marshall Islands and then the Marianas and moved towards the Bonin Islands. General MacArthur took the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and then the Philippines.

Yes, the North Koreans are practicing right now in December 2010 and said that they are going to attack if they get to practice.

The North Koreans are allied with the Chinese and the South is allied with the US Army.
