The thought of victory was soon whisked away. The 104th was ordered to train at Camp Luis Obispo, California for the impending invasion of Japan. It was there in late August of 1945 that training on weapons, Japanese tactics, and tropical diseases began. With President Truman’s projection for the invasion of Kyushu under Operation Olympic, 766,700 men, 134,000 vehicles, and 1,470,930 tons of materials, 1,314 major amphibious vehicles, and 2,794 aircraft were to be needed for the invasion. Worst yet, the invading army was estimated to receive 514, 072 casualties. It was also expected that the Japanese military and civilian deaths on Kyushu would have approximated 580,000 to 630,000 at the lowest. However, the use of the atomic bomb on August 6th and 9th forced the Japanese empire to surrender. The war was finally over for the Timberwolves.
