	Marshall Islands - Maloelap
		One of the largest of the Marshall Islands atolls, Maloelap (right in the image) is located in the Ratak chain of eastern atolls, lying directly to the north of Majuro.
		All of the main islets of Maloelap (Airuk, Jang, Kaven, Tarwa and Wolot) are located on the northern, eastern and southern sides of the atoll, lying on a continuous and unbroken length of reef.
		The western side of the atoll consists mainly of a series of fragmented reefs, shallow passes and a number of smaller islets.

	Antiquity, Project Gallery: Weisler
		Low coral atolls are the most precarious landscapes for human habitation since they have limited land area, humus-poor, undeveloped coralline soils and potable subterranean water restricted to the largest islets of an atoll.
		Four atolls were selected for study: Utrik Atoll in the dry north, Ujae and Maloelap atolls (Figure 2) in the middle of the archipelago and Ebon Atoll in the wet south.
		Although human colonists were initially drawn to the atolls for harvesting the untapped stocks of fish, molluscs and huge sea-bird colonies, the backbone of Marshallese terrestrial subsistence was based on the cultivation of Giant swamp taro (Cyrtosperma chamissonis) which was grown in pits with heavily mulched soils (Figure 4; Weisler 1999b).

	Wingfield
		The United States flag was raised over the atoll and colors were sounded, while a detachment of officers, sailors, and marines stood at attention with the Japanese, who also joined in saluting the flag.
		Wingfield got underway on 2 November, touching at Majuro Atoll to unload medical equipment, and thence proceeded to Kwajalein lagoon where she embarked Navy veterans for transportation to the United States.
		She put to sea from Kwajalein Atoll on 7 December 1945 and steamed by way of Pearl Harbor and San Diego to arrive in the Boston Naval Shipyard on 25 January 1946.

		We have winds of about 15-28k from the ENE and the seas are fairly calm behind the atoll.
		Since about 6pm as we passed North of Maloelap Atoll the seas have become rougher with confused seas and swells.
		We expect to reach the atoll (at a point just to the South of the Southernmost point of the atoll) at about 7:30am after which we will need about an hour and a half to move up the West side of the atoll to the pass.

		The atolls and islands are situated in two almost parallel chain-like formations known as the Ratak (Sunrise) group and Ralik (Sunset) group.
		This atoll is approximately 160 square miles in area with a lagoon of about 150 square miles.

	HyperWar: USMC Operations in WWII: Vol III--Central Pacific Drive [Chapter III-1]
		In the north, at the apex of the triangle, the recently activated 4th Marine Division, commanded by Major General Harry Schmidt, a veteran of the Nicaraguan campaign, was to seize Roi-Namur, twin islands joined by a causeway and a narrow strip of beach.
		Originally, most of the weapons emplaced on the larger islands of the atoll had been sited to protect the ocean beaches, but since the Tarawa operation, in which the Marines had attacked from the lagoon, the garrisons were strengthening and rearranging their defenses.
		The atoll garrison was believed to be composed of the 6th Base Force, 61st Naval Guard Force, a portion of the 122d Infantry Regiment, and a detachment of the 4th Civil Engineers.

	HyperWar: USMC Monograph--The Marshalls: Increasing the Tempo
		On 23 December, Majuro Atoll was revealed as the selected "Island 'X' " to be secured, and on receipt of this decision on 26 December, General Holland Smith set up the Majuro Landing Force, consisting of the 2d Battalion, 106th Infantry, with the V Amphibious Corps Reconnaissance Company and the 1st Defense Battalion, FMF, attached.
		In order for Majuro Atoll to qualify as an additional objective, it had to fulfill the description of "lightly held." Intelligence officers came to the conclusion that there were few, if any, defensive installations on its islands and "small" defensive forces.
		Inasmuch as Kwajalein Atoll was the hub of military and naval activity for the Marshalls, it naturally contained the largest single garrison force--8,000 troops.

		Life on the outer atolls is generally still fairly traditional, and the nutrition of the rural population, being grown and caught, is superior that of most of the urban residents, who rely considerably on white rice.
		Government downsizing, drought, a drop in construction, and the decline in tourism and foreign investment due to the Asian financial difficulties caused GDP to fall in 1996-98.
		It is an important aspect of the Marshallese economy, as the Marshallese land owners receive rent for the base, and a large number of Marshallese work on base.

		In August 1990, the authors set up an hf path on the equatorial path between Maloelap Atoll and Bikini Atoll.
		Transmitters at Maloelap broadcasted four cw tones within bandwidth of either 4 kHz, 9 kHz, or 70 kHz to be used to determine frequency coherence and also a phase-coded pseudo random sequence with a bandwidth of 60 kHz (channel probe) to be used to determine time delay spread.
		A spatial array of antennas was deployed at Bikini to measure spatial and frequency coherence using the cw broadcasts.
