Overview:
Two companies of Evan Carlson's 2nd Marine Raider Battalion were landed on Butaritari by submarine during the night of 17-18 August. Their mission was to destroy the installations on Makin Atoll and, more importantly, to divert the Japanese High Command's attention from the Guadalcanal landings which had occurred 10 days earlier. The landing was scattered due to the heavy surf, with one boat coming up to ground behind the governor's house. The wayward Raiders moved past the defender's positions to link up with the main body. Making use of a captured bulldozer and the supporting fire of the submarines offshore, the Marines proceeded to carry out their mission. . .Attacker: American (USMC) (A + B Companies, 2nd Raider Battalion)
