Abstract
This chapter is a narrative of D-day on Saipan and W-day on Guam in the Mariana Islands and a description and analysis of the planning for and the execution of naval gunfire missions in support of each assault. This is followed by an analysis of the effectiveness of that support and of the application of the lessons that had been learned at Tarawa. The lessons were modified in the case of Saipan, but they were reaffirmed in their application at Guam.
