General Kenny was the Commander of Allied Air Forces, South West Pacific Area. In this organization there were the air forces of the US Army, US Navy, US Marine Corps, Royal Australian Air Force, and the Royal New Zealand Air Force. He managed these forces by creating areas of responsibility. All air units, of whatever nationality or service, reported to the officer in charge of that area, of whatever nationality or service.

Fleet Admiral Nimitz was responsible for the Pacific Ocean Areas—North, Central, and South Pacific. In his organization were the Army Air Force units in Alaska and Hawaii as well as Navy and Marine Units in the Central Pacific. The South Pacific, by then a rear area, was garrisoned by the Royal New Zealand Air Force.

By August 1945 responsibility for the area south of the Philippines was being turned over to the Commonwealth forces of Australia, Britain, and New Zealand subordinated to Admiral Mountbatten’s South East Asia Theatre. The RAAF Command was already responsible for New Guinea and the Dutch East Indies. Responsibility for the the Northern Solomons (Rabaul and Bougainville) was being transferred from Marine Air Wing 1 to the New Zealand NZ Air Task Force.

Below is a list of the active units in these tactical air forces as of August 1945.
