Command Structure for the
10th Military District
This information comes from
"History of the Mindanao Guerrillas"
District Headquarters - Known as "GHQ
GHQ was initially located in Misamis
City, Misamis Occidental Province. In July 1943 it was moved to Liangan,
Lanao Province. Then, on 15 October 1943, GHQ was split for security
purposes. The backup command element remained at Liangan while Col. Fertig
and the main command element moved to Esperanza, Agusan Province. In
January 1944 the Japanese began an offensive to eliminate the 10th M.D. GHQ in
Agusan Province. That forced GHQ to be moved to farther upstream (south)
to Talacogon and then to Pianing. On March 31, 1945, GHQ was moved to its final
location at Camp Keithly in Dansalan, Lanao Province.
Note: Between 1 January 1944 and 1 April 1945, there was an intermediate level of command between GHQ and the Divisions. This was A Corps and it exercised control of 105th, 106th, 108th and 109th Divisions.
