Although the landing battle delayed the Kalimantan and Filipino armies for more than twenty days, the arrival of these approximately one hundred thousand native soldiers on the Ryukyu Islands still presented a formidable force.
With these native soldiers, complete order could be maintained on the Ryukyu Islands. More importantly, they could be used to eliminate the Islander soldiers secretly hiding in the urban cities and countryside.
After landing on the Ryukyu Islands on July 24, it only took Australasia two days to essentially purge the entire order of the Ryukyu Islands and annihilate all the Island Nation Army forces there.
By 6:30 p.m. on July 26, Brigadier General Christy sent Arthur a telegram with the following message: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Army has completed its clearance mission and can ensure there is not a single enemy soldier left on the Ryukyu Islands."
