Ku dhammee weedhan soo socota: Dalka New Guinea, oo ah dal aan wadooyin lahayn, gaadiidka dadka iyo alaabta waa in lagu sameeyaa diyaaradaha ama maraakiibta. Waxaa loo isticmaalay hab dhinacyo badan leh si loo xaliyo dhibaatadan. Gawaarida wax soo saarka ee la kala saaray ayaa loo diray Australia, halkaas oo lagu soo ururiyey Cairns. Goobta ay maraakiibta yaryar ee soo dejintu ay u badan tahay in ay si weyn u kordhiyeen maraakiibta soo dejin ee Rear Admiral Daniel E. Barbey's VII Amphibious Force, oo bilaabay in ay yimaadaan dabayaaqadii 1942. Ciidanka Barbey waxay qeyb ka ahaayeen Carpender's cusub ee loo sameeyay 7aad Fleet. Carpender wuxuu MacArthur u sheegay inuu yahay Taliyaha Guud ee Isbahaysiga, SWPA, laakiin wuxuu u sheegay Admiral Ernest King inuu yahay Taliyaha Ciidanka Toddobaad, oo qayb ka ahaa King's United States Fleet. Maadaama ciidanka badda ee toddobaad aysan lahayn diyaaradaha xambaara, hawlaha ciidanka badda ee SWPA waxaa xaddiday diyaaradaha dagaalka ee ciidanka cirka shanaad. In kasta oo dhowr diyaaradood oo nooca P-38 Lightning ah ay soo gaadheen SWPA dabayaaqadii 1942, haddana gaarsiinta dambe ayaa la joojiyay sababo la xiriira dalabaadka
