respect to the use of air power
in the Southwest Pacific, and
the experience gained in that
area, is of the highest importance
to Alaska and Alaskans by
I reason of the vast extent of the
Teuitory and the lack of any
means of speedy travel on the
pound. The text of General
, MacArthur’s statement follows:
“The destruction of remnants
of the enemy forces in the San
ananda Area concludes the
Papuan Oampagn. The Horii
Army (Lt Gen. Tomitaro Horii
commanded the estimated 15,000
Japanese troops in Papua) has
been annihilated. “The outstand
ing military lesson of this cam
paign was the continuous, calcu
lated application of air power
employed in the most intimate
tactical and logistical union with

ground troops.
The effect of this modern in
st”urnentality was sharply ao
ceatuated by the geographical
limitations of this theatre. For
months on end, air transport
with constant fighter coverage
moved complete infantry regi
ments and artillery battalions
across the almost impenetrable
mountains and jungles of Papua
and the reaches of the sea, trans
ported field hospitals and other
base installation to the front,
supplied the troops and evacuat
ed casualties.
“For hundreds of miles bomb
ers provided all-around recon
naissance, protected the coast
from hostile naval intervention
and blasted the way for the in
fantry as it drove forward.
A new form of campaign was
tested which points the way to
the ultimate defeat of the enemy
in the Pacific.
The offensive and defensive
power of the air and the adapt-j
ability, range and capacity of its
transport in an effective combin
ation with ground forces repre
sent tacticle and strategical
elements of a broadened concep
tion of warfare that will permit
the application of offensive
power in swift, massive strokes
rather than the dilatory and
costly island to-island advance
'hat. some have assumed to be
necessary in a theatre where the
enemy’s far flung stongholds are
dispersed throughout a vast ex
panse of archipelagos.
“Air forces and ground forces
were welded together in Papua,
and when in sufficient strength
with proper naval support, their
indissoluble union points the
way to victory through new and
broadened strategic and tactical
conceptions.”
