Did GIs get sent to the pacific theater after VE day?

Yes, after Victory in Europe (VE) Day on May 8, 1945, some U.S. military personnel were redirected to the Pacific Theater to prepare for the invasion of Japan. While many troops remained in Europe for occupation duties, others were reassigned to the Pacific as part of the buildup for potential operations against Japanese forces. However, with Japan's surrender on August 15, 1945, the need for a large-scale deployment was significantly reduced.
