Marines clean machine guns and attend religious services aboard transports at sea, climb into landing craft which head for shore, wade through the surf protected by naval, and aerial bombardment, consolidate beach positions, move inland, and care for wounded. Mortars are fired and Japanese infantry flushed from dugouts. Japanese POW's are searched and given first aid.
