Landing craft vehicle personnel, or a “Higgins Boat,” was used to carry soldiers to the beach during WWII. Jeeps were used to shoot people, and they had machine guns strapped to them. DUKW is an amphibian truck that turns into a boat. If they got shot, they used the DUKW as a shield, basically to help prevent worse injuries. A jeep painted yellow, named “Aircraft Guide,” was bright colored so pilots could see it and follow them. The coolest vehicle was a tank. It’s small compared to most tanks. The machine gun on the bottom is the assistant gunner. Then there's a main gunner, which is super hot inside, and it was hot climate wise in their area, so they would get super hot super quick.
The battlefield in the World War 2 Museum was artificial but replicated to show the real movements of soldiers. A bunker is for shelter, which US soldiers had to use because the Japanese liked to attack. It can also be called a pillbox. The holes in the bunker were used for shooting outside forces. The Japanese specialized in attacking at night and carrying-out stealthily secured attacks on the US. The Pacific War was the war that Japan and the United Powers were at war, starting with the event of Pearl Harbor and its bombing by the US.
