I was looking into the Cactus Headquarters during the battle of Guadalcanal, and Geiger set up his Headquarters in a Japanese-built wooden structure, aka: The Pagoda.
By October 1942, the radio equipment was moved into a newly completed radio tunnel, and the Pagoda was destroyed.
After Geiger was replaced by admiral Marc Mitscher, Mitscher made his Operations HQ in a Quonset hut by a river.
So my questions are:
By October 1942, the radio equipment was moved into a newly completed radio tunnel, and the Pagoda was destroyed.
After Geiger was replaced by admiral Marc Mitscher, Mitscher made his Operations HQ in a Quonset hut by a river.
So my questions are:
- Were those tunnels only used from October till the beginning of February?
- Was the Ground Control, starting from February, in a Quonset hut?
- How many people were present in the Operations HQ?
