South Pacific Forces in SWP A IRON GREY

These code names were principally in use during the NEW GUINEA phase of the war in the Southwest Pacific Area.

There were some operations which had no code names, principally because they were done on despatch orders or because they were part of an over all operations such as NEGROS which was part of Victor Two. After the war moved to the PHILIPPINE Ar ea the use of Geographical code names fell Into disuse except for use as shipping designators.
