The US Army commander was Lt. Gen. Walter Short. The Navy commander was Admiral Husband E. Kimmel.

Overall commander for the Japanese was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Yamamoto was also the man who came up with the idea for the Peral Harbor attack. He did not want to go to war with the Americans, but thought that if the Japanese could knock out the American fleet early the Japanese might gain enough time to take Pacific islands and construct a defensive perimeter the Americans couldn't break.

Admiral Chuichi Nagumo commanded the carrier strike force that launched the Pearl Harbor attack.
