NAVAL FORCES
UNIFIED COMMAND IN THE PACIFIC It was announced last night by the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, that it had been decided that the combined naval forces of the New Zealand and Australian areas should be established under a single command. By agreement with the United States, this command would be executed by Vice-Admiral Herbert F. Leary, United States Navy, with the title of Commander, Anzac Force. The reorganisation of the United Nations’ forces in the Australia-New Zealand area brings operations under unified command and is intended to satisfy requests by Australia and New Zealand for a more closely-knit war organisation.
