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: -Island-hopping was a war strategy of the United States during World War II in its Pacific Campaign against the Japanese Empire. The United States entered the fighting of World War II after the December 7th, 1941 surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by Japanese forces.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the final Allied planning conference of the war, it was recognized that the island-hopping campaign had provided the Allies with forward air bases that could strike enemy forces anywhere. In addition, it gave them advanced power projection platforms to invade the Japanese home islands if needed.
