After MacArthur escaped from the Philippines and reached Australia he was named Supreme Commander Southwest Pacific Area (SWPA) in May 1942. Admiral Nimitz commanded the Central Pacific, and the SWPA was a theater carved out for MacArthur, in deference to his seniority. It would not have been done for anyone else.
