  • Pacific Command: a Study in Interservice Relations” Professor Louis Morton, 1961
    'The views expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the US Air Force, Department of Defense or the US Government.'" USAFA Harmon Memorial Lecture #3 “Pacific Command: A Study in Interservice Relations” Professor Louis Morton, 1961 When two men ride the same horse, one must sit behind. -Anon. It is a pleasure and a privilege to have this opportunity to visit the Air Force Academy and to speak to you under the auspices of the Harmon Memorial lecture Series, particularly since the Harmon name stirs memories of my own service during World War II. For almost two years I was on the staff- in a very junior capacity, I hasten to add- of Lt. Gen. Millard F. Harmon, Hubert Harmon's older brother and one of the leading figures in the early development of air power. As historian for the command, I had reason to learn that Millard Harmon had the same personal interest in military history that characterized the first superintendent of this Academy and is so fittingly memorialized in the present lecture series. When Col. Kerig, of the History Department, invited me to give this lecture, I must confess that I accepted with some misgivings. To follow such distinguished historians as Frank Craven and T. Harry Williams, who gave the preceding lectures in this series, was a difficult enough assignment. But when I learned that my audience would number about 1,500, I was literally frightened. No academic audience, or any other I ever faced, numbered that many. The choice of topic was mine, but what could a historian talk about that would not only hold your interest for an hour but would also be of some value to you in the career for which you are now preparing? Colonel Kerig made the choice easier.

Fletcher On the night of August 8-9, 1942, American naval forces supporting the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi Islands suffered a humiliating defeat in a nighttime clash against the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was, and remains today, the U.S. Navy’s worst defeat at sea. However, unlike America’s ground and air forces, which began inflicting disproportionate losses against their Japanese counterparts at the outset of the Solomon Islands campaign in August 1942, the navy was slow to achieve similar success. The reason the U.S. Navy took so long to achieve proficiency in ship-to-ship combat was due to the fact that it had not adequately prepared itself to fight at night.

  • Japanese Strategy in the Second Phase of the Pacific War
    Japanese Strategy in the Second Phase of the Pacific War Noriaki Yashiro Introduction This paper’s title, “Japan’s Strategy in the Second Phase of the Pacific War” is a far-reaching theme, such as what topics should be handled or what timing should be considered, but it is necessary to narrow down topics due to space limitation. This paper assumes that “the Outline to be Followed in the Future for Guiding the War” as decided at the end of September 1943 played a central role in Japan’s strategies in the second phase of the Pacific War. With focus on the operation strategy portion of the said Outline, this paper attempts to analyze the meanings of switching from offensive strategy at the time of starting the war to defensive strategy by correlating grand strategies of the Imperial General Headquarters and military operations of the Japanese army and navy. In addition, this paper makes some analyses on operation strategies in the second phase of the Pacific War. 1. Next strategy after completing southward invasion operations (1) Basic strategy at the time of starting the war: “The Draft Proposal for Hastening the End of the War against the U.S., the U.K., Holland, and Chiang” If a new war against the U.S., the U.K., and Holland occurs while conducting the China Incident (Second Sino-Japanese War), Japan needs to find out how to end such a war. On November 2, 1941, when Premier Tojo, Sugiyama, Chief of the Office of the Army’s General Staff, and Nagano, Chief of the Naval General Staff reported their conclusion on their review of national policies to Emperor Hirohito, they added they were “researching on possible justifiable reasons to start the war and possible actions to end Japan-U.S.
