Peleliu is a small island in the Palau archipelago located some 500 miles east of the Philippines.

Its geography is composed largely of coral outcroppings with thick jungle undergrowth and an accompanying canopy.

At Peleliu, both Japanese and American forces relied on the island’s terrain in their decision making. The physical landscape—from the cave systems to ridgelines—played a vital role in the movement of troops and resources across the island.
