Within days, the campaign for Okinawa was over. Ushijima killed himself three days after Buckner died. Marine Corps Lieutenant General Roy Geiger completed the conquest of the island. It had been grueling. Both the Army (4,675 killed) and Marines (2,928 killed) had suffered terribly, yet due to the kamikazes, mortal casualties among Navy personnel (4,907) were greater than either. The numbers paled in comparison to Japanese losses (more than 90,000 killed), plus the death of as many as 150,000 Okinawa civilians.
