After a two-week long air campaign and an embarrasing naval defeat, the Japanese SNLF units hit the beaches of Wake & Wilkes Islands in an effort to seize the atoll so as to extend their perimeter around the home islands. The US defenders made the Wilkes landing an "Issue in Doubt" because Captain Platt & his 1st Defence Battalion met the assault force head on.*
