The
Landings on Rendova
were amphibious military assaults by
United States Army
,
Marine Corps
and
Navy
forces on
Rendova
Island in the
Solomon Islands
on 30 June 1943. The small Japanese garrison was quickly overwhelmed by US troops, but the island was subjected to heavy attack by Japanese aircraft over several days. The landings were some of the first Allied landings during the
New Georgia Campaign
of the
Pacific War
and were successful in securing the island and providing a base from which the Allies could support the subsequent invasion of
New Georgia
island and the eventual capture of
Munda airfield
in early August 1943.
