    Battle of Tarawa 80th Anniversary Commemoration Ceremony

    U.S. service members with 2d battalion, 2d Marine Division, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Victor Lange, U.S. Ambassador Marie Damour, and President Taneti Maamau, pose for a group photo at the Battle of Tarawa memorial 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.
