Operasi Cartwheel
Operasi Cartwheel (1943 – 1944) adalah operasi militer besar yang dilakukan oleh Sekutu di teater Pasifik pada Perang Dunia II. Tujuan utama Cartwheel adalah untuk menetralkan pangkalan utama Jepang di Rabaul. Operasi ini dipimpin oleh Panglima Tertinggi Sekutu di Kawasan Pasifik Barat Daya (SWPA), Jenderal Douglas MacArthur, yang pasukannya telah maju sepanjang pantai timur laut Papua dan menduduki pulau-pulau terdekat. Pasukan Sekutu dari Kawasan Pasifik Selatan, di bawah Laksamana William Halsey, maju melalui Kepulauan Solomon menuju Bougainville. Pasukan Sekutu dari Australia, Belanda, Selandia Baru, Amerika Serikat, dan berbagai pulau di Pasifik turut serta dalam operasi ini.[1]
