two islands.
Attack Anticipated.

blue anticipated that the main hos
tile attack would be launched against
the west coast. With the forces at
his disposal 1t was physically impos-
sible for the Black comma nder to have
adequate local reserves on both west
and north coasts, and to hold out
general reserves.
Confronting two attacks, one on
the west coast and one on the north
he felt compelled to estimate one as
the main attack and the other as
secondary. The immediate conse-
quences of successful attack on the
west coast were more serious than
on the north coast. Therefore,
Black placed the bulk of his forces
so as to meet this attack. With ade-
quate general reserves to meet any
action of Blue. this risk would not
have had to be taken. AS 1T turned
out the bulk of the forces were too
far from the north coast of Oahu
to repulse the major debarkation
promptly.
Blue had been successful in seizing
base in dangerous proximity to
Oahu. With local command of the
sea and with a superior air force
in his hands, Blue was reasonably
sure of ultimate victory. But Black
aircraft and submarines did all in
their power to make winning as hard
and costly as possible to Blue.
Blues first move against Oahu
consisted of a naval demonstration
on the evening of April 26. This was
designed as a feint, but did not have
any practical result. for it did not de-
ceive Black for a moment and mere
ly served to bring Blue ships under
the fire of heavy Black batteries
Blue then launched his main attack
against the north Tor open) coast of
Oahu at daylight on the eth.
landing troops under cover of and
supported by heavy fire from his
ships. The weather was ideal and
there was practically no surf. The
landing was vigorously opposed, but
the defense forces finally had to re-
tire. Simultaneously with this main
attack, Blue made a secondary land
ing on the west coast under cover
of and supported by heavy fire from
his ships. Here considerable surf
was encountered and the landing fail
ed in face of the vigorous defense. 1t
is to be noted that both landings were

and mobile. Dependence must not be
placed primarily or even predomi-
nantly upon mechanical means-field
guns and machine guns-but upon
mobile troops and aircraft, counter
attacking whenever and wherever
necessary. A commander must not
only have troops enough to hold the
essential positions and to man his
armament. but he must have enough
troops left to form an adequate re-
serve.
I'm this instance, the comma nder
could not do this. for his force was
not adequate for the task assigned to
it. He did all he could with the
forces given him; he could not do the
impossible.
"Analyzing the results of the exer-
cises from the standpoint of their
objects, it is believed

the defense of Oahu have been tested

the qui vive. Possible landing places
were held by thin beach Gordon,
plentifully supplied with field guns,
machine guns, ETC., and backed by
strong points and small mobile re-
serves. The Black air forces, both
Army and Navy, were concentrated on
Oahu, seven DH4B's being, however,
dispatched to the Island of Lanai The
surface and subsurface vessels and
AIRCRAFT of the naval district formed
an observation Gordon around Oahu
at a sufficient distance to give timely
warning of the enemy's approach.
Blues task was also difficult in
that II involved an attack against
strongly fortified island some 1000
mlies from Blues nearest home base.
In the very nature Of the case such
an attack was a major operation and
therefore required extensive and care
ful preparations. Since a direct at
TACK against Oahu was too hazardous
Blue Planned to seize one of the out
lying islands, Molokai, and to establish
an air base there and to follow this
with naval demonstration against
a pay on the south coast of Oahu for
the purpose of diverting Blacks at
tentlon. Blue then proposed to direct
his main landing attack against the
north coast of Oahu, while stimuli
taneously Herewith making a sec
ondary landing on the west coast of
Oahu.
Blue was successful not only in
seizing Molokai but Lanai as well
and in occupying the landing fields
on both islands early on the 25th
This success may be ascribed in large
measure to the fact that, instead of
moving the airplane carrier Langley
close inshore and exposing her to at
tack by Black submarines, Blue kept
her well offshore and had her fly her
planes off to the landing fields on
Molokai and Lanai as soon as these
had been seized by the advance force
The seven Black airplanes dispatched
to Lanai gave good account of them
selves, sinking a Blue tender and in
ftcting serious damage on the Blue

27, but orders were issued that they

later so as to obviate the inevitable
hazards of life and material involved
in making landings at night.
Landing Would Have Succeeded.
'It is, of course, extremely difficult
to say whether either landing would
have succeeded in an actual case.
The local umpires on the spot were
of the opinion that the landing on
the north coast succeeded, Blue suf-
fering severe losses, and that the
landing on the west coast failed.
Considering the two cases on their
merits, / am of the opinion that the
landing on the west coast would prob
ably have failed in war, but that the
landing on the north coast might well
have succeeded. There is no doubt
that highly trained, well led infantry
can establish beachhead once the
troops are ashore. Even when the
landings, as in the exercise, are well
planned and covered by naval gun
fire. the guns defending the beach
will sink many boats. perhaps even
transports. Even under the best
weather conditions the critical period
of landing operation is that in
which the landing troops are moving
in boats from transports to beach.
During this period they are exposed
helpless to the gun, machine gun and
rife fire of the defender, and, in case
he has any aircraft left, to attacks
by the latter.
"But these landing operations
demonstrate another lesson. The de
fense against them must be flexible
