The Battle of the Green Islands or Operation Squarepeg was fought from 15 to 20 February 1944, between Imperial Japan and Allied forces from the New Zealand 3rd Division and the United States. Undertaken after landings to secure lodgments on New Britain and Bougainville, the main focus of the operation was the capture of Nissan Island, which was secured by New Zealand forces after only a short ground campaign. At only very limited cost in terms of casualties, the Allied operation resulted in the capture of several small atolls in the island chain, which were subsequently used to support air and naval operations focused on reducing the main Japanese base on Rabaul.

(en) グリーン諸島の戦い（グリーンしょとうのたたかい）は、太平洋戦争での島嶼をめぐる戦闘の一つであり、1944年（昭和19年）1月から2月にかけてブカ島の北西方の海域に位置するグリーン諸島でニュージーランド軍およびアメリカ軍と日本軍守備隊が戦い、日本軍守備隊の玉砕によって戦闘が終わった。一連のソロモン諸島の戦いにおいて事実上最後の戦いに位置付けられ、グリーン諸島を確保した連合軍側は航空基地を前進させ、ラバウルとカビエンに対する包囲網をさらに狭めることとなった。 (ja) La battaglia delle Isole Green si svolse tra il 15 e il 20 febbraio 1944, nell'ambito dei più vasti eventi della campagna delle isole Salomone della seconda guerra mondiale. Una forza di spedizione anfibia degli Alleati, composta da truppe da combattimento neozelandesi, comandate dal generale , trasportate da unità navali statunitensi, guidate dal retroammiraglio , prese terra sul piccolo arcipelago delle Isole Green nel Pacifico meridionale, prescelto per ospitare una base intermedia da cui attaccare la strategica posizione di Rabaul sull'isola di Nuova Britannia. Nonostante l'intervento di velivoli da combattimento da Rabaul, la piccola guarnigione giapponese stanziata sulle isole fu rapidamente sopraffatta dalle superiori forze degli Alleati. (it) La bataille des îles Green désigne les opérations amphibies menées par la Nouvelle-Zélande, avec l'assistance et la participation des États-Unis, contre la garnison japonaise des îles Green du 29 janvier au 27 février 1944, dans le cadre de la campagne des îles Salomon (qui était à l'époque un protectorat britannique) durant la guerre du Pacifique. Les Alliés avaient pour objectif de reprendre possession des îles Green afin d'y établir des aérodromes pour accentuer leurs raids aériens en Nouvelle-Bretagne, en Nouvelle-Irlande (île) ou encore sur les îles Truk.
