 ===The Korean War===
-The outbreak of the [[Korean War]] and subsequent developments in the Far East tested the U.S. unified command structure in the Pacific. Although General MacArthur, as CINCFE, had been relieved of responsibility for South Korea, early U.S. reaction to [[North Korea]]'s invasion of the South on 25 June 1950 came through his command. On 10 July, at the request of the [[United Nations]], [[President Truman]] directed General MacArthur to establish the [[United Nations Command|United Nations Command (UNC)]] for the purpose of directing operations against North Korean forces. U.S. forces assigned to FECOM were assigned to UNC with General MacArthur designated Commander-in-Chief, UNC (CINCUNC). The primary responsibility of CINCFE, however, remained the defense of Japan. During the war, CINCPAC was ordered to support CINCUNC/CINCFE.

During the war, CINCPAC was ordered to support CINCUNC/CINCFE.
 With CINCFE focused on combat operations during the Korean War, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, over strong objection from FECOM, transferred the Mariana, Bonin and Volcano Islands to PACOM. In late 1951, PACOM was also assigned responsibility for the Philippines, the [[Pescadores]], and [[Taiwan|Formosa (Taiwan)]].
