What was the purpose of the battle in iwo jima?10POINTS!?

Dropping paratroopers means tons of soldiers are scattered all over the island in small pockets, making them easy prey for Japanese defenders. They'll have no heavy support as there's no front line (U.S. Navy vessels cannot provide gunfire support because they won't know where American soldiers are). Many of them will lack weapons.

In short, a parachute invasion is suicide. Tanks without infantry support are dead meat. Best you can do is land tanks with the infantry, typically a little behind them so that there is at least someone who can prevent the enemy from dropping a satchel charge on your tank.

Landing at night is a recipe for confusion and thus disaster. ... In other words, the invasion plan, as conducted, was the best possible plan under the circumstances. Sometimes, in war, you have no choice but to accept heavy casualties in the attainment of an objective, and every from Roosevelt down to the lowliest private knew that.
