Marine Corps History: The Solomon Islands Campaign was a major campaign in the Pacific during World War II. This campaign began with Japanese landings and occupation of several areas in the British Salmon Islands and Bougainville, in the Territory of New Guinea, during the first six months of 1942. Japan occupied these locations and began the construction of several Naval and air bases with the goals of protecting the flank of the Japanese offensive in New Guinea, establishing a security barrier for the major Japanese base at Rabaul, and providing bases for interdicting supply lines between U.S. Forces and its Allies.

 Since 1775, American men and women have given special meaning to the title, "United States Marine."  Marines live by a set of enduring core values forming the bedrock of their character.  Core values promote the "moral compass," and give Marines strength and regulate their behavior; they bond the Marine Corps into a total force that can meet any challenge.
