It consisted of the IJA's 35th Infantry Brigade and the 124th Infantry Regiment. It operated independently of the IJA 18th Division and saw action in several campaigns, including ghting on Borneo, the Philippines and Guadalcanal. On September 4 the the Kawaguchi Force plus the Aoba Detachment with three infantry battalions from the 2nd Division, had landed on Guadalcanal. On the night of the September 13 Kawaguchi's forces, involving the main force of the Kawaguchi Detachment (ve infantry battalions) and the remainder of the Ichiki Detachment (about 100 men), assaulted the U.S. Marine defenses around Henderson Field. A series of unsuccessful frontal attacks were undertaken by the Japanese forces over several hours while confusion gripped the ghting lines. A second eort was made later, during which part of the Detachment penetrated a corner of the aireld, but it was unable to hold on to its gains after American reserves were committed and a heavy bombardment was unleashed. Kawaguchi's forces were defeated with heavy losses and forced to retreat from the battleeld.
