...Pacific (CINCPAC), boss of the biggest military contingent in the world (TIME Cover, Jan. 6). At Felt's call are the 373,000 men. 1,000 aircraft and 400 ships of the First and Seventh Fleets, the Fifth and Thirteenth Air Forces, and the Army's 1st, 7th and 25th Infantry Division. Highly mobile and thoroughly trained, the elements of this mighty force need only hear the whistle to move into direct action. If it blows, Major General Donald Weller, Commander of the 3rd Marine Division and an old jungle fighter, will become Commander of Joint Task Force...
