	Battle of Eniwetok - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Eniwetok was a battle of the Pacific campaign of World War II, fought between 17 February 1944 and 23 February 1944 on Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
		Naval bombardment of Eniwetok began on 17 February and the 22nd Marine Regiment, commanded by Colonel John T. Walker, landed on Engebi Island, on the north side of the atoll, on 18 February at 08:44.
		Captured documents suggested that the defences on Eniwetok Island would be light, and accordingly there was only a short bombardment on 19 February before the 106th Infantry Regiment went ashore.
