How would the 101st airborne do in the Pacific theater?

I remember that scene where they were watching a newsreel on the war in the Pacific in that castle.

Winters was there Nixon walks in they see the footage of Marines shooting flame throwers

I wonder if the 101st airborne was in the Pacific theater how do you think they would have fared in campaigns like peleliu, tarawa, iwo jima Okinawa etc?
