    Battle of Tarawa 80th Anniversary Commemoration Ceremony

    U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Kiribati Marie C. Damour gives remarks during the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Tarawa at the Betio Sports Complex, Tarawa Atoll, Kiribati, on Nov. 21, 2023. The Battle of Tarawa was a pivotal engagement in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The actions that took place during the preparation and execution of the battle led to significant innovations in amphibious warfare, including improvements to landing craft and intelligence-gathering procedures, marking it as a crucial turning point in momentum of the island-hopping campaign.
