How was the island of Guadalcanal a useful resource in the war? It provided the US military with natural resources, including oil and tin. The island had an airfield that could be used for future attacks against Japan. The island had a communications center that could be used for tracking Japanese aircraft. Guadalcanal became an outpost where US troops were trained for battle.

Answer:

The island had an airfield that could be used for future attacks against japan is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Guadalcanal is the province of the nation of Solomon and is located in the south-western province of Solomon islands. The island was occupied by the Japanese during the second world war and they begun to construct an airfield. The airfield was a threat for Australia and US forces occupied it on 7 August 1942. Although it was not easy for them to hold the airfield as it was a hotly debated campaign during the second world war. Guadalcanal was major turning point during the second world war as it stopped the Japanese Expansion. The US navy completed the airfield begun by Japanese and named Henderson Field.
