Campaign Briefing: The Marianas
In June 1944, the United States was embroiled in savage fighting for the Marianas Islands, the last bastion of the Japanese Central Pacific Perimeter. At stake—airfields on Guam, Saipan, and Tinian that would position American bombers in range of Tokyo.
Join us on June 22nd, 80 years later, to examine the big questions of the campaign: “why did we invade the Marianas?”, “what happened during the battle?” and “what was the result of the campaign?”.
During the presentation, the living history volunteers of Company K will engage in a battle demonstration including simulated explosives, blank-firing guns, and a real M2-2 flamethrower.
