The Battle of Dumpu was an action fought in September and October 1943 between Australian and Japanese forces in New Guinea during the Markham and Ramu Valley – Finisterre Range campaign of World War II. After the Battle of Kaiapit on 20 September 1943, in which the 2/6th Independent Company won a victory against a numerically superior Japanese force, Ivan Dougherty's 21st Infantry Brigade of the 7th Division advanced from Kaiapit to Dumpu in the Ramu Valley. The 21st Infantry Brigade was opposed by Major General Masutaro Nakai's Nakai Detachment, which consisted of the 78th Infantry Regiment and one company of the 80th Infantry Regiment, both from the 20th Division. There was a series of minor actions, but the Australian advance was not delayed, and Dumpu was captured as planned. During the entire advance, the Australian and American forces in the Ramu Valley were supplied by air. The capture of the Ramu Valley allowed a forward airbase to be developed at Gusap.
