* InterserviceRivalry: The Marines are not pleased when they hear that the US Army has landed to reinforce them. This leads to a small prank war between both sides when an Army truck nearly runs over a group of Marines for no reason and the Marines respond by raiding the army supplies during an Air raid, since as mentioned above, the Army doesn't know that the Japanese planes only attack the airfield.

With the US Navy cut off, the Marines are stuck on the island of Guadalcanal and find themselves facing the threats of starvation, malaria, and constant bombings from the Japanese. [[HoldTheLine They now have to hold out long enough for the Navy to break through.]]

* FiveFingerDiscount: The Army scatters when they see planes flying overhead, not knowing they won't bomb the beach. The Marines use this opportunity to steal from their supply bags. Leckie manages to score some nice moccasins and cigars.
* HoldTheLine: The Marines have to protect an airfield above anything. They spend a lot of the episode fortifying the border around it, with barbed wire and ditches.

* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: An MP sees Leckie wearing moccasins he stole, but lets it slide. Even telling him to be careful to not let the owner see him wearing them. As Leckie notices the MP is holding [[{{Hypocrite}} a random box of Johnny Walker]], this is out of self-preservation as much as anything.
* KilledOffForReal: Manny Rodriguez gets shot during a night battle while moving between positions. Since he wasn't visible from the other side, it wasn't even on purpose.
