These operations included a carrier raid on Royal Navy forces based at Ceylon; occupation of Rabaul, New Ireland, and islands in the central and lower Solomons chain for the purposes of securing airfields and flying boat bases; and a planned amphibious invasion of Port Moresby on New Guinea. The failure to secure Port Moresby by amphibious invasion led to a modification of later operations. The Japanese decided to occupy Buna and other points on the northern coast of New Guinea in order to mount an overland expedition to Port Moresby.
Throughout, the Japanese retained the term kessen. Yet the fact that the term changed its meaning to such a great extent shows that the Japanese were able to adapt their strategic thinking to changing circumstances. It is a mistake to hold the Japanese to a single meaning of the term “decisive battle” and then to deduce from that stipulative definition the conclusion that the Japanese were incapable of strategic innovation or flexibility. The strategic direction of the war in the Pacific was largely a matter of decision making by committee for both the Allies and the Japanese.
It was also natural to assume that the development of the Special Naval Landing Forces would be largely sufficient to hold all the necessary islets and atolls in the Japanese Mandates and to take other strategic locations in the Pacific. In fact, however, the navy ought to have been more forthcoming in both its needs to conduct the Southern Operation and in its estimation of long-term success. In order to win the war, Japan needed (1) better communication and more flexibility in joint operations mounted by the army and navy, (2) army ground troops and air units committed both earlier and in far greater numbers to the war against the Western Powers, and (3) a more comprehensive long-term strategy that included a synthesis of diplomatic and military efforts toward a successful conclusion of the war on Japanese terms.
