The Battle of Noemfoor was part of the New Guinea campaign of World War II. It took place on the island of Noemfoor, in Dutch New Guinea (now Papua, in Indonesia), between 2 July and 31 August 1944. During the battle, Allied forces landed on the island to capture Japanese bases as part of their advance through the Pacific towards the Philippines. The initial landing was largely unopposed and the Japanese defenders withdrew inland as the US troops came ashore. Sporadic fighting took place over the course of two months as the Allies secured the three airfields on the island and pushed the surviving Japanese troops to the southeastern coast. The island was later used by the Allies to support operations around Sansapor and on Morotai.

  • La battaglia di Noemfoor si svolse tra il 2 luglio e il 31 agosto 1944 sull'isola di Noemfoor al largo della costa della Nuova Guinea (oggi Numfor in Indonesia), nell'ambito dei più ampi eventi della campagna della Nuova Guinea occidentale della seconda guerra mondiale. Una forza di invasione anfibia dell'United States Army, appoggiata da contingenti navali e aerei statunitensi e australiani, prese d'assalto il 2 luglio la piccola isola, dove le truppe dell'Esercito imperiale giapponese avevano realizzato tre basi aeree; soverchiata dalla potenza di fuoco degli invasori, la guarnigione giapponese abbandonò le zone costiere e si rifugiò nell'interno dell'isola, ricoperto da una fitta foresta pluviale tropicale. Gli statunitensi si impossessarono abbastanza facilmente delle basi aeree, ma dovettero sostenere per due mesi una dura campagna di guerriglia contro i resti della guarnigione giapponese asserragliati nelle foreste di Noemfoor e le ultime sacche di resistenza nipponiche vennero sopraffatte solo il 31 agosto 1944; l'isola divenne poi un'importante base aerea degli Alleati per il prosieguo delle operazioni nella Nuova Guinea occidentale.
