USN: Nimitz, Fletcher, Spruance IJN: Yamamoto, Nagumo, Kondo
The senior officer of the forces on Midway was Major General Willis Hale, who was in charge of the detachment of the 7th Army Air Force located on the island. Admirals Chester Nimitz, Frank J. Fetcher and Raymond A. Spruance were in charge of the Battle of Midway. It was a Naval operation not an Army operation so Generals were not in charge of that battle.
The U.S. did not a General. The battle was fought by naval forces, therefore, the leaders were Admirals. For the U.S., Admiral Nimitz was the commander in chief, US Pacific Fleet and he was stationed in Pearl Harbor. Admiral Fletcher and Admiral Spruance were the U.S. leaders at the Battle of Midway.
