During the Battle of Iwo Jima, Marine artillery crews faced extreme combat conditions on Green Beach, where soft volcanic ash rendered towage vehicles inoperable and exposed positions to sniper and mortar fire; despite these challenges, the crews quickly deployed their 105mm howitzers on the beach, moved them a few feet, and registered fire on Mount Suribachi, the main Japanese observation post, demonstrating the critical importance of rapid artillery deployment under combat conditions.

The First Shot at Mount SuribachiHinzugefügt:
Under fire of sniper shots and mortar bursts, G Battery hit Green Beach. It was shin deep with soft volcanic ash that rendered most towage vehicles inoperable.
There was no time to deploy inland. The order was to set them up on the beach, which was already clotted with traffic and supplies. It was exposed in Enchilada, but the infantry was in trouble. And as quick as they came ashore, the guns were met by their crews, moved a few feet, and registered on their first combat target. Menacing Mount Suribachi, the main observation post of the Japanese defense system.
