Who was in command in the campaign island hopping during world war 2?
The Pacific was divided into two "Theaters" of Operations - the Central Pacific, and the Southwest Pacific. This was done mostly because MacArthur had retreated to Australia after Japan conquered the Philippines, and as a former commanding general of the US Army, a prestigious command had to be carved out for him. So, MacArthur commanded in the Southwest Pacific, fighting in the New Guinea area and the Philippines. Navy Admiral Chester Nimitz commanded in the Central Pacific, from his HQ in Hawaii, where he was also commander of the US Pacific Fleet.
