Detailed explanation-1: -General MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz employed a strategy of “triphibious” warfare to advance through the Pacific. This strategy involved combing air, land, and sea forces to navigate the challenging geography and distances. Overtime, this strategy came to be known as Island Hopping.
Detailed explanation-2: -The US “island hopping” strategy targeted key islands and atolls to capture and equip with airstrips, bringing B-29 bombers within range of the enemy homeland, while hopping over strongly defended islands, cutting off supply lanes and leaving them to wither.
Detailed explanation-3: -Leapfrogging, also known as island hopping, was a military strategy employed by the Allies in the Pacific War against the Empire of Japan during World War II.
Detailed explanation-4: -Was it successful? The strategy behind island-hopping was one involving a progressive approach towards Japan achieved through the capture of important island bases. It was successful in that it provided many airfields from which US forces could attack Japan and, ultimately, end the war.
