American Troops and Bulldozer on Devastated Kwajalein Beachhead, WWII
American troops rest and work amid the wreckage of a heavily bombarded beachhead during the Battle of Kwajalein, part of the U.S. campaign to seize the Marshall Islands in early 1944. A military bulldozer clears debris while landing craft crowd the lagoon beyond, illustrating the scale of logistics required to support amphibious island assaults in the Pacific War. Project: 218539
