I. SITUATION:

A. Enemy Forces: The Japanese garrison on Iwo Jima is heavily fortified in a complex network of deep caves, concrete bunkers, and pillboxes across the entire island. They are committed to a defense to the death and hold all key high ground, especially Mount Suribachi and the Motoyama Plateaus. Enemy beach defenses are dense and designed for interlocking fields of fire. The unique black volcanic sand will hinder infantry movement. Expect concentrated mortar, artillery, and anti-tank fire from Suribachi.

 

B. Friendly Forces:

      27th Marine Regiment (Red Beach Landing Team): Landing on Red Beaches 1 & 2. Main effort to push across the narrow neck to the western coast and to assault and capture Mt. Suribachi.

                  

II. MISSION: The 27th Marine Regiment lands on Red Beaches 1 & 2 to rapidly secure the beachhead, clear direct fire positions, and advance with maximum speed across the narrow volcanic neck to the western shore. The primary objective is to construct a multi-layered blocking position across the neck to isolate Mount Suribachi from the rest of the island, supporting the 28th Regiment's main assault.

 

III. EXECUTION:

A. Concept of the Operation:

• Phase 1 (Landing & Beachhead): The assault waves land on Red 1 and Red 2. The immediate task is to overcome enemy strongpoints on the beach and establish a continuous line.

• Phase 2 (Cross-Island Thrust): Upon securing the beachhead, Red 1, Red 2, and Red 3 will commence a rapid thrust directly across the narrow volcanic neck to the western coast.

• Phase 3 (Isolation): Secure the western coast and establish fortified blocking positions with support from Green 1 (MG) and Thunder 1 (Mortars) to seal the northern exit from Mount Suribachi.

• Phase 4 (Capture):  Red 1, Red 2, and Red 3 will commence assault on Mt. Suribachi to caputre the mountain with cover from Green 1 and Thunder 1.

 

B. Task Organization & Specific Tasks:

• Red 1, Red 2, & Red 3 (Rifle Squads): Lead the cross-island thrust and clear enemy bunkers.

• Green 1 (MG Squad): Establish overwatch positions and suppress fortified pillboxes on the flanks.

• Thunder 1 (Mortars): Provide on-call indirect fire support and smoke screens for advancing rifle squads.
