520			_aThis is a factually accurate account of Marine Corps operations in the re-conquest of the Philippines in World War II. The Philippine victories were primarily Army and Navy operations. Marines, comprising only a fraction of the total forces engaged, played a secondary but significant role in the overall victory. They were able to test on a large scale the fundamental Marine doctrine of close air support for ground troops in conventional land operations. This test they passed with credit. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
