Which military strategy did the US use to fight the Japanese in the Pacific theater?

The US used a strategy called "island hopping" or "leapfrogging" to fight the Japanese in the Pacific theater. Instead of trying to capture every Japanese-held island, the US selectively targeted and bypassed heavily fortified islands and focused on capturing strategically important islands that were closer to Japan. This allowed the US to gradually advance towards Japan while cutting off Japanese supply lines and isolating their forces on bypassed islands.
