The initial approved casualties forecast of U. S troops done by the Joint War Plans Committee ranged from 130,000 to 200,000, but latter after the Japanese reinforcement efforts the numbers increased to 1,7 million to 4 million; this led to a change in the strategy since the numbers now represent too great of a loss for the U. S army.
