Caperton of the 1918 Influenza on Armored Cruiser No. SUMMARY OF MINESWEEPING OPERATIONS AT BALIKPAPAN. In three days only two mines were cut in sweeping 490 square miles of the Gulf of Lingayen despite advance intelligence that a large mine field was located there. The personnel were mostly machinery operators, mechanics, checkers and supervisors. These operations were all commanded by subordinate officers of the SEVENTH Amphibious Force, usually flotilla or group commanders.

In the later stages of an operation when only heavy shipping under army control was being unloaded, liaison was maintained directly between ESB personnel and the LCT Flotilla or Group Commander. A devious route was used by assault echelons. During this period his Operations Section was supplemented by Officers from the Force Commander's Staff to provide sufficient assistance for conducting rear area operations and coordinating resupply from the main staging area at Hollandia, New Guinea. In the movement of Army, Marine, and Australian units to forward areas in anticipation of future operations. Two YMSs were hit by. An APH and one AH were available for the first time at the Aitape-Humboldt-Tanamerah landings. Forward movements of supporting troops, including Army Service units for air and ground forces, and Naval base units continued from the time of the capture of Manila until the end of the war. From the beginning, Commander SEVENTH Amphibious Force utilized one naval aviator on his staff for air planning, as air advisor, and liaison with participating units of the Far East Air Forces and Allied Air Force and with Carrier units of the Pacific Fleet. 1 Engineer Shore Company An average of one LST, four LCIs, 3 LCTs, 40 LCVs, and 8 LCMs was available at each of the Centers during the period of training. It was therefore necessary that amphibious shipping and their escorting ships be exposed to this constant threat in as small numbers as possible and for as short of time as possible. Numerous sunken hulks interfered with sweeping and in the inner harbor LCVPs fitted with small boat sweeping gear worked around the sunken hulks. Both magnetic and moored sweeping was conducted in the approach to the harbor and for fire support areas outside the harbor. Each platoon had sufficient equipment to care for one assault beach. The changes were the result of the new strategic concepts, arrived at in early September, which stepped up the tempo of the whole program of war against Japan. 1999 – Belleau Wood Amphibious Ready Group completed no-notice five-month deployment to Persian Gulf for Operation Desert Fox. (c) Health, Sanitation and Evacuation. The 2nd Engineer Special Brigade consisting of amphibious trained Army Troops, was located at Cairns and was placed under the operational control of Commander Seventh Amphibious Force for use in training the 6th and 9th Australian Divisions. 81,000 troops were landed in these operations. On 6 January 1944, the Australian LSIs were directed to form beach parties on board similar to the American APA type beach parties. Upon recommendation of Commander SEVENTH Amphibious Force, the two remaining ships were converted on the pattern of U.S. type APAs with installed standee bunks and a cafeteria system for messes. Aided by APAs temporarily assigned to SEVENTH Amphibious Force, a total of about 85,000 troops were landed. The jungles offered few exits from beaches, and disposal and dump areas were few and difficult to find. Soundings were taken by Engineer Shore Brigade boats and landing craft direction was under Army supervision. (h) Boats and boat pools. Operations in the BRUNEI BAY area commenced on 7 June in anticipation of the first assault landings on 10 June. b. The hygiene and sanitation of all types of ships was consistent and of remarkably high standard, considering the youth and inexperience of ships' personnel, and the fact that ships were almost constantly at sea. # NavyPride # ForgedByTheSea. Japanese aircraft attacks on naval shipping were heavy and the suiciders were encountered for the first time. 83-43, BUREAU OF NAVIGATION CIRCULAR LETTER NO. Most of the LSTs with no surgical team aboard carried a medical officer. Land based air in the Southwest Pacific Area had no system equal to the carrier based air strike for obtaining the close-in photo reconnaissance so necessary for planning amphibious operations. The organization for this training was to be along the same lines as that used during the training in New Guinea - officer schools at the Center and troop training in the staging areas conducted by Mobile Training Units. An Australian infantry battalion with a battery of artillery served as school troops and gave landing demonstrations on the battalion landing team scale. While these operations were in progress, rear bases were being consolidated in preparation for future campaigns. At BALIKPAPAN the minesweeping operations were the most difficult in the Southwest Pacific Area and perhaps in the whole war. The following day a total of 11 moored and 6 magnetic mines were destroyed, but YMS 39 and YMS 365 struck mines and were lost during the course of the work. Preventive inoculations were kept up-to-date for all personnel and health records of individuals newly arrived in the area were carefully examined to insure that all received appropriate inoculations. to sanction methods that evolved increasingly rational and effective care of the wounded. Meanwhile, naval support forces moved into DAVAO GULF and destroyed suicide boats, midget submarines, and their bases. After the assault on 1 July, minesweepers transferred their activities to BALIKPAPAN Harbor, and completed the clearing of a channel by 7 July. On 2 October 1944, six British LSIs reported to Commander. These teams were composed of 2 surgeons and 10 hospital corpsmen and constituted a mobile unit which could be shifted from ship to ship on short notice. Expeditionary Strike Group SEVEN/Task Force 76 (Amphibious Force U.S. At first, Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet, was not inclined to risk fast carriers so close to enemy air bases. A large proportion of the SEVENTH Amphibious Force operated from Leyte during the Philippine and Borneo campaigns and the task of Representative at Leyte was of major importance. DWT bulk cargo; 300 DWT. during continuous operations which lasted five months. Semi and unskilled labor came from the attached labor and service units. To provide boat and shore teams for subsequent shore-to-shore operations of combat forces after the initial landing from naval assault shipping. The hospital ship Hope arrived in Subic Bay and took the patients from the LSTs, which eased the situation. The U.S. The remaining divisions on the program were given refresher training only, since they had all had basic amphibious work and had been in at least one amphibious operation. Supplements to this Command History will deal separately with the amphibious phases of the various campaigns in which the SEVENTH Amphibious Force took part. The field had obviously been designed as a defensive measure against Allied submarines. Facilities for prosthesis were available in certain large ships of the Service Force, SEVENTH Fleet, such as the USS San Clemente and the USS Dobbin. In May 1943, the Combined Operations Training School at Toorbul, Queensland was turned over to Commander Seventh Amphibious Force. The SEVENTH Amphibious Force was concerned only with the movement to the Philippines and such movements as were necessary within the Philippines. During the LAE and FINSCHHAFEN campaigns, night unloading of reinforcement and resupply echelons was resorted to. This was a large and difficult task, which began on 24 February and continued until the middle of April. As lines of communications lengthened with each new landing, the transporting of casualties in amphibious craft was avoided when possible. Beach parties 2, 4, 5 and 6 took part in the LINGAYEN GULF Operation. Hospital ships were not permitted to enter the Gulf when scheduled, and even later they were not allowed to remain longer than two to three hours at mid-day. In later campaigns full air support requested was usually supplied, and air plans better adhered to. a. Rear Admiral CONNOLLY, USN. By this time, the pattern for the overall care and evacuation of casualties had been formed. The unsatisfactory conditions on the beaches in the early landings indicated the need for trained beach parties to perform purely naval duties on the beach and to act as direct liaison between Army Units and the Naval Commanders.

Two (2) Amphibious Group Commanders with their staffs were attached. Sweeping was conducted off the approaches to BRUNEI BAY, then inside the BAY itself, and finally off MIRI-LUTONG, the rich oil area about 120 miles south of BRUNEI BAY where an assault landing was to follow about 10 days after the initial landings at BRUNEI. The mobility acquired by basing the Administrative Command afloat was deemed desirable and later operations proved the soundness of the plan. It was planned that LSTs, LCIs and LCTs as they became available in the area would take part in this training, commencing about 15 April. Explore AMPHIBIOUS FORCE SEVENTH FLEET's 5,350 photos on Flickr! In April 1944 three additional beach parties were formed and these were used in the AITAPE-HUMBOLDT-TANAMERAH Landings.

The Japanese had moved forward heavy reinforcements to the Wewak area in anticipation of attack, and as a result there was only nominal resistance where the landings were actually made. He retained this responsibility until other naval agencies, usually Service Force or the various Sea Frontier Commands had their equipment brought forward and were in a position to relieve him. Plan (7-45) CTG 78.3 ComPhibGrp 9 Op. Following is a list of the units scheduled for training, including dates and location of training: On 10 June 1945, Rear Admiral J. L. HALL, Jr., USN, Commander Amphibious Group 12, reported to Commander Seventh Amphibious Force for duty as Commander Amphibious Training Group. Beach Party medical sections had orders to place aboard the surgical team LSTs only those cases in need of surgery and to send the other wounded direct to APAs. The staff has since performed with a gradual reduction in personnel due to demobilization, but with no essential change in organization. Obviously, if air attacks were to be a feature of the approach to the landing beach, then it was logical that a ship be designated and equipped with facilities to care for casualties sustained while enroute. Twenty-four LSTs with one medical officer. In addition, enemy moored mines in the entrance channels were reported. After the Lingayen Landings, matters of first importance were the immediate reinforcement of the Philippines, and the exploitation of the rapid advance of the SIXTH Army down the Luzon plain. In addition, many magnetic mines had been planted by the Allied Air Force and RAAF. b. Brigadier General CHASE, USA - Colonel JONES, AUS. HMS Ariadne, a cruiser type minelayer of the Royal Navy, was assigned to the SEVENTH Amphibious Force from October 1944 to January 1945, and was temporarily converted to carry troops while working with APDs in the landings on DINAGAT and HOMONHAN ISLANDS in the LEYTE Operation.

Allied troops were transported and landed in assault on NEW GUINEA, BISMARCK ARCHIPELAGO and the HALMAHERAS, in the major campaigns which regained the PHILIPPINE ISLANDS and the operations which secured control of the SULU ARCHIPELAGO and parts of BORNEO. The following chart shows organization of the Amphibious Training Group based on the use of Mobile Training Units: Following is a list of the units trained by the Amphibious Training Group, Seventh Amphibious Force, during the New Guinea Phase: An average of 2 APA (LSI), 2 LST, 4 LCIs were available to each training unit during this period. Eight Surgical teams in LSTs. Beginning in early February 1945, the Blue Ridge based in the. The requirements fell generally into two categories: Officers to command attack operations and the various phases thereof, and officers to control the movements and logistics of amphibious shipping at numerous points. During this period officers of the Seventh Australian Division observed the training of the Marines but no troop training was given this division. The first wave of paratroops suffered 178 casualties due to the drop. It was necessary that loading time be limited and much mobile loading be done to obtain maximum use of few ships. Amphibious Scouts acted as beachmasters for the Mapia-Asia landing. A staff and command course, specialist course and course for troop instructors was given prior to training of troop units.

The Staff of Commander Southwest Pacific Amphibious Force was initially organized as shown in Appendix 1, Sheet 1. This command absorbed the existing facilities of the Joint Overseas Operation Training School (U.S. Army) and the amphibious training facilities of HMAS Assault (Royal Australian Navy). The APHs with about 8 medical officers aboard, and with a bed capacity of over 1,000 were held in the transport area as evacuation ships. The amphibious landings at MOROTAI in the Halmahera Islands took place on 15 September 1944, when over 50,000 troops disembarked in record time without opposition but under very difficult landing conditions. Commander Amphibious Force, however, retained the responsibility for the protection of amphibious, Navy Auxiliary, and USASOS merchant ships in the objective areas until relieved by Commander Philippine Sea Frontier.
