*
Battle Location: Volcano Islands, Iwo Jima*
*
Battle Type: USMC (Assault) vs Japan (Defend)*

Description:
*
The 1st Japanese-held airfield on Iwo Jima was taken with relative ease, but not the 2nd one. Even with Mount Suribachi taken, enemy resistance to the north was still better. A series of craggy plateaux filled with treacherous narrow ravines made getting to the enemy a nightmare for the US Marines. The 1st Battalion of the 24th Regiment was given the task of taking the heavily fortified Charlie Dog Ridge, which was just to the southeast of Airfield Number 2.*
