  U.S. 4th Marine Division - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When all the units were finally together, the 4th Marine Division was formally activated on 14 August 1943, with Major General Harry Schmidt in command.
After intensive training, it shipped out on 13 January 1944, and in 13 months made four major amphibious assaults, in the battles of Kwajalein (Roi-Namur), Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima, suffering more than 17,000 casualties.
It was awarded two Presidential Unit Citations and a Navy Unit Commendation, and then deactivated 28 November 1945.

Unfortunately for the purist, common usage has already expanded the term to include larger events such as the Battle of Britain, the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of the Atlantic, all of which would be called "campaigns" in Napoleonic or American Civil War usage.
These battles are ranked by the number of military deaths only.
