"US military rebuilds runway on site of ‘nightmare’ World War II battle"

From https://www.cnn.com | By Brad Lendon, CNN  |  June 30, 2024.

"(CNN) - A US Marine Corps aircraft has landed on a rebuilt runway on a World War II-era Japanese airfield on the Pacific island of Peleliu, site of one of the Marines’ bloodiest battles of the war and now a possible US basing option in a strategy to counter China."

"The KC-130 Hercules transport aircraft touched down on the 6,000-foot runway on June 22 in what a Marine Corps press release called 'a significant and triumphant return to this iconic World War II site.'”

"Marine engineers had been working on rebuilding the runway for months, clearing brush, removing trees and ensuring no unexploded ordnance remained from the World War II battle on the island, which is part of the island country of Palau."

EXPEDIENT AIRSTRIP TO BE USED AS A DISPERSAL FACILITY IN CASE OF WAR IN THE PACIFIC!

"The Marines named the rebuilt landing strip the 'Sledge' runway in honor of a veteran of the Peleliu battle, Pfc. Eugene Sledge, a mortarman on the island who wrote about it in a memoir"

As I have remarked so many times before, everyone making ready! Do I need to tell you for what?
