It was established in the United Kingdom UK in August 1942 under General Dwight Eisenhower in order to command the forces committed to Operation Torch . Eisenhower had the title Commander in Chief, Allied Expeditionary Force. Shortly after the establishment of the headquarters, Expeditionary was deleted from its title for reasons of operational security. Eisenhower thus became Commander in Chief, Allied Force. By the end of 1942, there was a need to unify command of the Allied forces in North Africa, since those from the west, landed during Operation Torch, and those from the east that had won the Second Battle of El Alamein were now close enough together to need coordination. Therefore, in February 1943, Allied Force Headquarters assumed control of the Eighth Army United Kingdom British Eighth Army advancing from the east as well. Eisenhower remained in command of AFHQ until January 1944, overseeing the Allied invasion of Sicily , which began on 10 July 1943 and the Allied invasion of Italy Allied invasion of the Italian mainland , on 3 September 1943.

  1. Allied Forces Act 1940

    The Allied Forces Act 1940 3 & 4 Geo. VI c. 51 was an Act of Parliament of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed in late 1940, after the fall of France. The Act gave legal authority for the recognised sovereign governments of Belgium , Czechoslovakia , the Netherlands , Norway and Poland all countries then under German occupation to raise, equip and maintain independent armed forces on British soil. A sixth country, France , was provided for by authorising the activity of the Free French forces under Charles de Gaulle General de Gaulle . The forces would be fully independent, under their own operational command and military law, though in practice it was expected that the British high command would direct general strategy and control joint operations. The Act would later be extended to cover Luxembourg , Greece and Yugoslavia . It allowed these nations to remain active and independent allies in the war, rather than simply providing manpower and moral support to the United Kingdom and the remainder of the British Empire. cquote It was essential that these foreign Governments, after being invited to come to this country, should have their own national armies here. These armies are the symbol of nationhood to millions of people and to their enslaved countrymen throughout Europe. I trust that, when the time arrives to which the Prime Minister pointed yesterday, and when there is a great resurgence in those countries, these armies will be the spearhead of the Forces of liberation and will see them through their present perils and trials. ref Hastings Lees Smith , debate in Parliament on the Armed Forces Bill, 21st August 1940 ref After the Act was passed, national units were quickly formed or reconstituted by late October, the size of the Allied contingents serving with Home Forces were given as 18,000 Poles, 15,000 Norwegians and 3,000 Czechs, as well as around 3,000 ... history Category United Kingdom in World War II Category United Kingdom military law no Allied Forces ...   more details



  1. Allied Democratic Forces

    Update date March 2012 The Allied Democratic Forces ADF is a rebel group opposed to the Uganda n government. It is based in western Uganda with rear bases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo . It began as a minor group in the forested Ruwenzori mountain range along the border in 1996, but expanded its activities over the next several years. As of 2004, the ADF had been largely destroyed by the Uganda Peoples Defense Force UPDF . The Alliance of Democratic Forces is made up of Ugandan opposition forces, supported by the Government of Sudan, which fought the Government of Uganda. ref http www.globalsecurity.org military world para adf.htm ref The ADF was formed by puritanical Muslim Ugandans of the Tabliq sect who merged with the remnants of another rebel group, the National Army for the Liberation of Uganda . The main figure of the group was Jamil Mukulu, a former Catholic. The members were largely from central Uganda, in particular Iganga, Masaka and Kampala , and portray themselves as religious crusaders. Beyond this vaguely stated religious ideology and statements that the government discriminates against Tabliqs, the ADF has given few coherent rationales for their insurgency. The ADF chose western Uganda apparently for three reasons terrain that is ideal for a rural insurgency, proximity to the DRC where the rebels could set up bases and recruit fighters, and the presence of some Ugandan ethnic groups unfriendly to the government that could offer assistance. While the ADF carried on occasional attacks in 1996, they were largely ignored by the government. This changed ... the foreign forces.
