Pacific Theater of Operations The Pacific Theater of Operations is the area of operations of U . S . forces during the Pacific War of 1941 - 45 . A " theater of operations " is a land or sea area , and the airspace above it , established to employ one ' s forces to neutralize a strategic threat to national or alliance / coalition interests in regional or general conflict ; it is part of the theater ( of war ) ; normally the nation ' s highest leadership and the respective theater ( of war ) commander would designate a part of the theater as the theater of operations in case of a major regional or national emergency and general war ; the theater of operations can also be established in the case of a major counterinsurgency effort . From mid - 1942 until the end of the war in 1945 , there were two U . S . operational commands in the Pacific : In addition , during 1945 , General Carl Spaatz commanded the separate U . S . Strategic Air Forces in the Pacific . Because of the complementary roles of the United States Army and the United States Navy in conducting war in the Pacific theater , there was no single Allied or U . S . commander ( comparable to Eisenhower in the European Theater of Operations ) in the Pacific . Indeed , the organizational structure was rather complex , requiring the frequent involvement of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Army and Navy commanders each reporting to both the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy . The Japanese Combined Fleet was led by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto , until he was killed in an attack by U . S . fighter planes in April 1943 . Yamamoto was succeeded by Admiral Mineichi Koga ( 1943 – 44 ) and Admiral Soemu Toyoda ( 1944 – 45 ) .
Comprehensive Peace Accord The Comprehensive Peace Accord ( or CPA ) ( Nepali : ) was signed between the Government of Nepal and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal ( Maoist ) on November 21 , 2006 which formally ended the Nepalese Civil War that lasted for more than decade . Then Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala and Maoist supremo Prachanda signed the deal , which allowed the Maoists to take part in government , and places their weapons under UN monitoring . Implementation . CPA ' s implementation has been a topic of intense debate over the years . The Maoist army has been confined within temporary cantonments that are verified and monitored by the United Nations ( UNMIN ) . Their arms have been locked in the cantonment and guarded by United Nations Mission in Nepal ( UNMIN ) . An equal number of arms of Nepal Army has also been guarded by the UNMIN . Still , however , the National Peace and Rehabilitation Commission , Truth Commission , and a high - level Commission for State Restructuring have not yet been formed . Properties confiscated by Maoists also still haven ' t been fully returned . There ' s been disagreement between Maoists and other parties on issues of Integration of the Maoist army into the Nepal army . Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal says that the Maoist army will be rehabilitated and integrated into the Nepal Army but key coalition partners of the Nepali Congress and Madhesi Janadhikar Forum are vehemently opposed to the idea . Even Defence Minister Bidhya Devi Bhandari is strongly against the deal . After a second round of verification , 4008 verified minor and late recruits were released from cantonments beginning in January 2010 . Among the released 4008 ex - combatants from seven main camps and other 21 satellite camps located at various parts of the country , 2 , 973 were verified minors ( who were under 18 when the peace deal was signed on November 21 , 2006 ) and 1035 were late recruits ( recruited after November 21 , 2006 ) . The United Nations is providing four types of rehabilitation packages for released ex - combatants which include vocational training , sponsoring school education , health education training and supporting small business initiatives . Research is being done to identify how the private sector could support the rehabilitation program and help in consolidating peace .
ABCA Armies ABCA Armies ( formally , the American , British , Canadian , Australian and New Zealand Armies ' Program ) is a program aimed at optimizing interoperability and standardization of training and equipment between the armies of the United States of America , United Kingdom , Canada , Australia , and New Zealand , plus the United States Marine Corps and the Royal Marines . Established in 1947 as a means to capitalize on close cooperation between the United States , United Kingdom , and Canada during World War II , the program grew to include Australia ( in 1963 ) and New Zealand ( as an observer from 1965 , with full membership in 2006 ) . History . The program started in 1947 as the " Plan to Effect Standardization " between the armies of the United States , United Kingdom , and Canada ( the ABC Armies ) , with the three nations looking to capitalize on the close cooperation between the forces during World War II . In 1954 , the Plan was replaced by the " Basic Standardization Concept " . Australia joined the organization in 1963 , and the ABCA Program was established with the ratification of the " Basic Standardization Agreement 1964 " on 1 October 1964 . In 1965 , Australia successfully sponsored the introduction of New Zealand to the agreement as an observer . Originally , the role of ABCA was limited to issues of standardization for soldier equipment , training , and tactics . Following the September 11 attacks , a review by the Program ' s Heads of Delegations saw the Program modified to address the changing security environment and improve responsiveness , relevance , and focus on interoperability . The overhaul was completed by June 2004 . Also in 2004 , the increasing involvement of the United States Marine Corps was formally recognized with a Memorandum of Understanding between the Corps and the United States Army , allowing both forces to be represented by a single position . Following this , the United Kingdom delegation successfully incorporated the Royal Marines . New Zealand became a full member of ABCA in late 2006 . Equivalent organizations . Equivalent organizations for the nations ' navies ( AUSCANNZUKUS - Australia , Canada , New Zealand , United Kingdom and United States naval C4 organization ) , air forces ( ASIC - Air and Space Interoperability Council ) , the military scientific communities ( TTCP - The Technical Cooperation Program ) , and the Intelligence communities also exist .

Hog ' s tooth Hog ' s Tooth is the name given to the 7 . 62mm round presented to a United States Marine upon graduating from the Scout / Sniper school . A 7 . 62mm NATO round is used because that is the round fired by the M40A3 , which is the primary rifle used by Marine snipers . Significance . According to military superstition , there is ultimately one round destined to end the life of each person , " the round with your name on it . " Until that round is fired , the person for which it is intended is invincible . If the sniper carries this round at all times , it can never be fired and the sniper is therefore untouchable . The term " hog " is actually an acronym derived from the title " Hunter Of Gunmen " , which is the colloquial name for a sniper who killed an enemy sniper in combat . He then has to take a round from the enemy sniper ' s magazine - that ' s the one " with his name on it " . The bullet is then worn as a neclace and symbolizes the tooth of a real hog , expressing his status as a " hunter of gunmen " . All other members of scout sniper platoon who have not graduated as a hog are considered " pigs " , or " Professionally Instructed Gunmen " . Hog ' s tooth as a neclace
