Around 0700, the order finally comes in to launch the invasion force. Naval gunfire and aircraft have been pounding the island of Guadalcanal all morning, focusing on the Northern approach. The current goal is to take the airfield of the island, and either wipe out or capture the Japanese garrison on the island, about 3,000 men at the moment.
Multiple huge troop transport ships break formation and drop anchor around 6,000 yards from the shore. By 0900, over 11,000 marines in landing craft and amphibious tanks pour out from the flotilla, get into formation, and begin the half-hour crawl to shore. As they move away from the ships, the naval gunnery ceases and the aerial bombings resume. Cramped into the landing craft, all you are left with are your thoughts, as you move through the water, the early morning sun beating down harshly. With every wave, warm seawater splashes down on you, soaking through your gear and uniform. You can hear the echoing sounds of artillery from the ships behind you, and in the distance, from the island itself.
