Every Japanese offensive after that battle failed. The US gained victory and halted Japan’s advances in the Solomon Islands. But the tide turned after six months of battle. Until the Guadalcanal Campaign, Japanese Imperial Forces had initiated and dominated every move in the Pacific. The Nisei, too, learned more effective strategies of gathering intelligence, from streamlining the process of interpreting documents to capitalizing on their understanding of Japanese culture for interrogations. The soldiers themselves, often reluctant to take on prisoners, needed to be shown how POWs could be valuable sources of information. The Army learned that language specialists were needed on the front lines to translate documents and question prisoners quickly and efficiently. The Guadalcanal Campaign resulted in significant changes in the ways that combat intelligence was retrieved and used.
