The Battle of Belleau Wood (1–26 June 1918) occurred during the German Spring Offensive in World War I, near the Marne River in France.
 The battle was fought between the U.S. 2nd (under the command of Major General Omar Bundy) and 3rd Divisions along with French and British forces against an assortment of German units including elements from the 237th, 10th, 197th, 87th, and 28th Divisions.
 The battle has become a key component of the lore of the United States Marine Corps.
To the Shores of Iwo Jima is a 1945 Kodachrome color short war film produced by the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps.
 It documents the Battle of Iwo Jima, and was the first time that American audiences saw in color the footage of the famous flag raising on Iwo Jima.
Letters from Iwo Jima (硫黄島からの手紙 , Iōjima Kara no Tegami ) is a 2006 Japanese-American war film directed and co-produced by Clint Eastwood, starring Ken Watanabe and Kazunari Ninomiya.
 The film portrays the Battle of Iwo Jima from the perspective of the Japanese soldiers and is a companion piece to Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers", which depicts the same battle from the American viewpoint; the two films were shot back to back.
 "Letters from Iwo Jima" is almost entirely in Japanese, although it was produced by American companies DreamWorks, Malpaso Productions, and Amblin Entertainment.
 After "Flags of Our Fathers" underperformed at the box office, DreamWorks swapped the United States distribution rights to Warner Bros., who had the international rights.

USS "Iwo Jima" (LPH-2) was the lead ship of her class and type—the first ship to be designed and built from the keel up as an amphibious assault ship.
 She carried helicopters and a detachment of embarked Marines for use in the Navy's "vertical envelopment" concept of amphibious operations.
 "Iwo Jima" was the second of three ships of the United States Navy to be named for the Battle of Iwo Jima, although the first to be completed and see service (the first was cancelled during construction).
The Battle of Iwo Jima (19 February – 26 March 1945) was a major battle in which the United States Marine Corps landed on and eventually captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II.
 The American invasion, designated Operation Detachment, had the goal of capturing the entire island, including the three Japanese-controlled airfields (including the South Field and the Central Field), to provide a staging area for attacks on the Japanese main islands.
 This five-week battle comprised some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting of the Pacific War of World War II.
Iwo To (硫黄島 , Iō-tō , "sulfur island") , known in English as Iwo Jima (    ), is an island of the Japanese Volcano Islands chain south of the Ogasawara Islands and together with them forms the Ogasawara Archipelago also known as the Bonin Islands.
 The island of 21 km (8 square miles) is 1200 km south of mainland Tokyo and is administered as part of Ogasawara, one of the eight villages of Tokyo inhabited only by Japan Self-Defense Forces and used by the U.S. Navy for carrier practice.
 It was the setting of the February–March 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima involving the United States and a small number of elements of the British Pacific Fleet versus the Empire of Japan during World War II.
 The island grew in recognition outside Japan when the photograph "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" was taken on Mount Suribachi, the highest point at 160 metres (528 feet), during the battle by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal.
 The U.S. occupied Iwo Jima until 1968 when it was returned to Japan.
