Explanation:

Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders were involved in the Battle of Santiago in Cuba during the Spanish - American War. Admiral Dewey's Battle of Manila Bay was a naval engagement where the Rough Riders (a cavalry unit) were not involved. Guam was captured with minimal resistance and not by the Rough Riders. The distraction off the coast of the Philippines is not related to the Rough Riders' main role.

Answer:

They helped win the Battle of Santiago in Cuba.
