"Breaching the Marianas" by John C. Chapin is a book about the WWII campaigns and Marine Corps history. The book gives a detailed account of what happened on the Mariana Islands of Saipan during the war. Excerpt: "Breaching the Marianas: The Battle for Saipan by Captain John C. Chapin, USMCR (Ret) It was a brutal day. At first light on 15 June 1944, the Navy fire support ships of the task force lying off Saipan Island increased their previous days' preparatory fires involving all calibers of weapons. At 0542, Vice Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner ordered, "Land the landing force." Around 0700, the landing ships, tank (LSTs) moved to within approximately 1,250 yards behind the line of departure. Troops in the LSTs began debarking from them in landing vehicles, tracked (LVTs). Control vessels containing Navy and Marine personnel with their radio gear took their positions displaying flags indicating which beach approaches they controlled."

Navy Tactics Techniques and Procedures NTTP 3-54M MCTP 3-32B (Formerly MCWP 3-40.9) Operations Security OPSEC March 2009 In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 298, establishing a national operations security (OPSEC) program and creating a national OPSEC structure. NSDD 298 requires each federal agency or organization supporting national security missions with classified or sensitive activities to establish an OPSEC program. OPSEC is a formal program that identifies and protects sensitive but unclassified information that ensures mission success. This document provides relevant U.S. Navy tactics, techniques, and procedures (NTTP) from a myriad of reference material to assist the command OPSEC officer/planner at the Maritime Operations Center (MOC) at the operational and tactical levels of war, and ultimately the commander, in taking prudent OPSEC considerations into account during day-to-day activities and the mission planning process. NTTP 3-54 supports the commander by providing the MOC staffs and associated naval commands with an OPSEC overview, OPSEC evolution, and guidance for the most crucial aspect of OPSEC, that of identifying critical information (CI). It explains the OPSEC process, also known as the OPSEC five-step process. NTTP 3-54 addresses the areas of OPSEC and force protection, public affairs officer (PAO) interaction, the role of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) in coordination with OPSEC, the OPSEC/OMBUDSMAN/KEY VOLUNTEER relationship and the conduct of OPSEC assessments. The publication includes separate chapters on Web page registration, Web risk assessment, and Red team activity. Appendices provide guidance to implement effective plans/programs at the individual unit, strike group, and shore establishment levels.
