MacArthur was a friend of the Marine Corps and a booster. As he told
General Shepherd, when the latter was CGFMFPac and visiting Mac in
Tokyo, that he treasured the service of the 1st MarDiv in the Cape
Gloucester campaign and would like to have them under his command
again., whereupon Shepherd, without authorization from CMC Cates,
offered Mac the 1st MarDiv, and then informed Cates about it. Cates
then had to deliver and the beefing up on the division for Inchon
follows. BMF
