Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - Ko te 5th Marine Division he United States Marine Corps te wehenga whawhai whenua i whakahohehia i te 11 o Noema 1943 (i whakahohehia i te 21 o Hanuere 1944) i Camp Pendleton, California i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao. I kite te wehenga tuarima i tana mahi whawhai tuatahi i te Pakanga o Iwo Jima i te tau 1945 i reira i mau ai te maha o nga mate o nga wehenga e toru o te V Amphibious Corps. Ko te Rōpū Tuarima hei wāhanga o te whakaekenga i whakaritea o te whenua o Hapani i mua i te hekenga o Hapani
He aha? I whakauruhia nga hoia whakaeke o te 5th Division ki roto i te Presidential Unit Citation i whakawhiwhia ki te V Amphibious Corps mo te toa nui i Iwo Jima mai i te 19 ki te 28 o Hui-tanguru 1945. I whakakorehia te wehenga tuarima i te 5 o Hui-tanguru 1946.
