==Navajo Code Talkers==
[[Navajo Code Talkers]] were a vital part in the Pacific and especially in the [[Battle of Iwo Jima]]. "Before the War Navajo boys were sent to a boarding school where Indians were taught to read, write and speak English. If they were caught speaking Navajo they would be punished.<ref name="NavajoCodeTalkers">Fenwick, B. (2002). Navajo Code Talker. Sooner Magazine, 22(4), 9–12.
</ref> "This caused the United States to almost lose one of its secret weapons. When [[Pearl Harbor]] happened in 1941 "The United States had been caught unprepared. In addition to being out-manned, outgunned and outsmarted in the early days of the war, the U.S. was also out-coded. With the Japanese breaking the coding system of the Pacific fleet."<ref name="NavajoCodeTalkers" /> This is where the Code Talkers play a vital role during the war, In 1942 Sergeant Phillip Johnson was assigned to direct the code training of Platoon 382 made up of Navajo men.<ref name="UnbreakalbeLanguage">Gyi, M.

Messages included missions and maneuvers, location and strength of the enemy, time and place of attack and other tactical orders."<ref name="UnbreakalbeLanguage"></ref> While on the Island of [[Iwo Jima]] "Code Talkers acted as forward observers, calling in artillery strikes against positions that were causing the Marines problems. Code Talkers on land would radio positions to a command ship offshore, their messages then given to admirals and generals. A new strike plan would be drawn then the information transmitted back onto the shore all without being tapped by the Japanese, to whom such information would have proven decisive"<ref name="NavajoCodeTalkers"></ref>  "By the end of the battle, Billison and other Code Talkers had transmitted more than 800 messages error-free."<ref name="NavajoCodeTalkers"></ref> These messages would be important information like new plans, or artillery barrages from the Navy Ships. Overall the Navajo Code Talkers were a huge success in the Pacific and Iwo Jima. A few Successes were only 28 non Navajos who could speak the language. None of them were German or Japanese. Navajo Language is one of the most difficult languages to learn, even if someone would learn it, it would be hard to imitate. The efficiency and effectiveness caused 800 messages to be sent error free and lastly the Japanese tried to bribe the Navajo but they remained loyal to the U.S.<ref name="UnbreakalbeLanguage"></ref>
