Content Data

This page contains data entry 55579 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

The only four admirals to be promoted to the rank of fleet admirals in the history of the US Navy were all promoted for their responsibilities in the Pacific theater of operations during World War Two: King, Nimitz, Leahy, and Halsey.

What conditions would warrant elevating INDOPACOM to a five-star command?

Would the CNO, as the statutorily most senior officer in the US Navy, be required to be a fleet admiral too, so as not to be outranked by COMINDOPACOM? How would this affect the rank structure of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?

In the event of a major war in the Pacific at some undefined point in the future, where the bulk of US global military forces would be brought to bear in the Pacific theater, would subordinating numbered fleets, air forces, and armies to four-star officers under the theater command of a five-star admiral make military sense? Or would it be a purely political decision? Are there any tactical or strategic advantages to such a decision, from a chain of command or organizational standpoint?
