Secret airstrips saved year in war
Army Chief of Staff Gel J Laween Collins told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the United States quietly began building Pacific base stepping stones between Hawaii and Australia before Pearl Harbor to keep defense plans secret from Japan. He argued against rigid caps on Washington staff, citing secrecy needs. The committee raised peacetime officer limits from 2,700 to 4,000 for the Army General Staff and increased the Tolman ceiling to 1,500. The bill returning to the Senate would revise base laws governing the Army.
