XXIV Corps Action Report

Abstract

The accompanying report is a brief factual account of the participation of the XXIV Corps in the Ryukyus Campaign. It is believed that this campaign may be accepted as a preview of future action when Japan is invaded. Attempt has been made to present an unbiased picture of conditions, enemy reactions, and our own difficulties and accomplishments in the hope that others may profit by experience gained in what is believed to be the bitterest fighting encountered in the Pacific to date. The successful capture of the strategically important enemy island of Okinawa is an epic of teamwork and cooperation as developed and executed by the American Armed Services acting jointly.
