Unified Command Pacific Need
Marty Faris reports from Yori on March 28 that American and Australian leaders privately favor a unified command for the Pacific.

The piece outlines current commands under Nimitz in the Pacific and Halsey in the South Pacific, arguing for empowered field leadership to respond quickly.
