 Units can only be placed in a few territories.  Iwo Jima is an isolated island, so units can only arrive at the airports or the marine landing zones.    These "placeable" territories also earn factory bonuses by themselves.   Control an airport at the beginning of your turn and you get +2 placed there for you.  Landing Zones get a +1 bonus each turn automatically placed on them.   In addition to these automatic factories, every territory above ground on the island is worth +1 units "in hand", but there is no reserve, so if you earn more units in a turn than you can place, you will lose the excess. Units can only be placed in a few territories.  Iwo Jima is an isolated island, so units can only arrive at the airports or the marine landing zones.    These "placeable" territories also earn factory bonuses by themselves.   Control an airport at the beginning of your turn and you get +2 placed there for you.  Landing Zones get a +1 bonus each turn automatically placed on them.   In addition to these automatic factories, every territory above ground on the island is worth +1 units "in hand", but there is no reserve, so if you earn more units in a turn than you can place, you will lose the excess.

 +Usually you want to leave 1 or 2 units behind in most territories.  Even though a single unit cannot defend very well, an opponent would have to spend one of their limited attacks to clear that territory.  Also, because you can fortify to any connected, leaving a unit behind in every territory as you move your main army, gives you more options for fortifying.

 >However, the photograph was not without controversy. Following the second flag-raising, Rosenthal had the Marines of Easy Company pose for a group shot, the "gung-ho" shot. A few days after the photograph was taken, Rosenthal—back on Guam—was asked if he had posed the photograph. Thinking the questioner was referring to the 'gung-ho' photograph, he replied "Sure." After that, Robert Sherrod, a Time-Life correspondent, told his editors in New York that Rosenthal had staged the flag-raising photograph. Time's radio show, Time Views the News, broadcast a report, charging that "Rosenthal climbed Suribachi after the flag had already been planted. ... Like most photographers [he] could not resist reposing his characters in historic fashion." >However, the photograph was not without controversy.

->As a result of this report, Rosenthal was repeatedly accused of staging the photograph, or covering up the first flag-raising. One New York Times book reviewer even went so far as to suggest revoking his Pulitzer Prize.  In the following decades, Rosenthal repeatedly and vociferously denied claims that the flag-raising was staged. "I don't think it is in me to do much more of this sort of thing ... I don't know how to get across to anybody what 50 years of constant repetition means." Genaust's film also shows the claim that the flag-raising was staged to be erroneous. +>As a result of this report, Rosenthal was repeatedly accused of staging the photograph, or covering up the first flag-raising.
