Operation CARTWHEEL—The Encirclement of Rabaul

During the first half of 1943, Allied planners developed Operation Cartwheel, an offensive in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands that would proceed in two prongs toward a common objective, the powerful Japanese base of Rabaul on the eastern end of New Britain Island in the Bismarck Archipelago. Command of the operation would be split between MacArthur in the Southwest Pacific Area, and Halsey in the South Pacific. While MacArthur fought his way across northeastern New Guinea and crossed to the western end of New Britain, Halsey would seize the Solomons Island chain from Guadalcanal to Bougainville. Kenney’s airmen and their Navy, Marine, and Allied counterparts would support the troops ashore.
