American forces faced significant challenges in defending against Japanese fire due to several factors, including the Japanese military's use of effective tactics such as surprise attacks, infiltration, and the strategic advantage of fighting in familiar terrain. The Japanese soldiers were often highly motivated and well-trained, employing effective camouflage and stealth techniques. Additionally, American troops were sometimes hampered by inadequate intelligence and preparation for the intensity and ferocity of Japanese assaults, leading to difficulties in mounting effective defenses.

In December 1941, General Douglas MacArthur made the critical mistake of underestimating the threat posed by Japanese forces in the Philippines. He failed to adequately prepare for an imminent attack, which led to the surprise bombing of American airfields on December 8, 1941, just hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This oversight resulted in significant losses of aircraft and made it difficult for U.S. forces to mount an effective defense against the subsequent Japanese invasion.
In the 4-7 June 1942 Battle of Midway, American Navy dive bombers flying off aircraft carriers, defeated the Japanese. Against American losses of 1 aircraft carrier, 1 destroyer, 150 aircraft and 307 sailors and aviators killed, the Japanese lost 4 aircraft carriers, 1 heavy cruiser, 248 planes, and 3,057 sailors and aviators killed.
