Best Answer

The central Pacific campaign was controlled by the U.S. Navy and Marines under Admiral Nimitz and the SW Pacific campaign was directed by General MacArthur from Australia. The overwhelming naval air power, the huge number of ships and carriers were instrumental all the way to the Philippines and Okinawa.
