What was the type of fighting the US used in the Pacific that did not attack islands in straight lines but moved around haphazardly?
The technique is called "island hopping" (or sometimes leapfrogging) and is not haphazard -- the US forces bypassed entrenched garrisons on some islands, attacking only those that would offer strong positions (such as airfields) or those that would present a threat to their supply lines. Many of the bypassed outposts could not be resupplied by the Japanese in the later stages of the war, rendering them useless to the war effort.
