I was looking into the Cactus Headquarters during the battle of Guadalcanal, and Geiger set up his Headquarters in a Japanese-built wooden structure, aka: The Pagoda. By October 1942, the radio equipment was moved into a newly completed radio tunnel, and the Pagoda was destroyed. After Geiger was replaced by admiral Marc Mitscher, Mitscher made his Operations HQ in a Quonset hut by a river. So my questions are: Were those tunnels only used from October till the beginning of February? Was the Ground Control, starting from February, in a Quonset hut? How many people were present in the Operations HQ?
where did you get the information that you stated? that seems pretty detailed ..if I remember correctly, the Pagoda was destroyed because it was a good aiming point for the Japanese
