The term Leapfrogging can be explained as High Jumps / Many Folds in Leaps or using Shortcuts to achieve great heights / results in short term. We can take example of Mergers & Aquisitions to descrice Leapfrogging: When a business unit has decided to expand in a particualar industry, it can have the special timimg advantage by merging or acquiring other company. Latest Example: The Tata Corus Acqusition. I have heard before the deal took place, Tata Steel was Ranked 10th among steel makers and it acquired Corus which was ranked 5th. Now their new combination, has taken their rank to 3rd. This is leapfrogging, if Tata ranked 10th wanted to achieve 3rd ranking on its own internal growth, it would have taken them many years to achieve it.

What important strategy was used by the American forces in the Pacific?

Island hopping, also called leapfrogging, was an important military strategy in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The strategy was to bypass heavily fortified Japanese positions and instead concentrate the limited Allied resources on strategically important islands that were not well defended but capable of supporting the drive to the main islands of Japan


What was the type of fighting the US used in the Pacific that did not attack islands in straight lines but moved around haphazardly?

The technique is called "island hopping" (or sometimes leapfrogging) and is not haphazard -- the US forces bypassed entrenched garrisons on some islands, attacking only those that would offer strong positions (such as airfields) or those that would present a threat to their supply lines. Many of the bypassed outposts could not be resupplied by the Japanese in the later stages of the war, rendering them useless to the war effort.


Which military strategy did the US use to fight the Japanese in the Pacific theater?

The US used a strategy called "island hopping" or "leapfrogging" to fight the Japanese in the Pacific theater. Instead of trying to capture every Japanese-held island, the US selectively targeted and bypassed heavily fortified islands and focused on capturing strategically important islands that were closer to Japan. This allowed the US to gradually advance towards Japan while cutting off Japanese supply lines and isolating their forces on bypassed islands.

How can you detect a heart condition on yourself?

This is not easy because most people jump to the worst case possibility. Everyone has their heart jump once in a while and sometimes the heart races so fast you think it will burst but nearly all of this is normal. What isn't normal is a pressure behind the breast bone or a leapfrogging feeling of the heart. Those should be checked out by a doctor as soon as you can. If pain in the left arm or shoulder accompanies the pressure then it is very important you see a doctor. These are symptoms of a heart struggling because of blocked arteries which can lead to an attack. If you are unable to breath easily can also be a symptom. If your ankles swell and retain fluids, lightheadedness are also signs of bad circulation. SEE YOUR DOCTOR, don't second guess yourself.


Who used Island Hopping?

Douglas MacArthur used island hopping along with Chester Nimitz used this tactic during world war two. They did this to avoid fighting the Japanese for every island in the pacific and only took the island critical for the mission. The US would then starve and bomb the other islands until they surrendered or bypassed them altogether. This was an efective stragety and probably won the war for the United States
