Berger and crew drove a tank ashore at Engebi during the invasion opening the assault on the island. The unit fought all day roving the terrain to shell Jap dugouts and tunnels as Marines moved in.

The crew endured stifling heat and constant duty with only brief rests between dawn and daybreak as fires and shelling continued on the tactical island assault.
