Allied Forces Headquarters (AFHQ). Formed in August 1942 as
Eisenhower's HQ for the
North African campaign, it then became the HQ for the supreme commander in the
Mediterranean theatre. It was based in Algiers from November 1942 until it moved to Caserta in Italy in July 1944. As the forerunner of
SHAEF, it was the first Allied inter-service HQ to be created equally from British and US personnel.
