Tuhia he tomokanga mo tenei waahanga - I whakatuhia te AFHQ i te United Kingdom i te 14 o Akuhata 1942 i raro i te Lieutenant General Dwight David Eisenhower hei whakahau i nga ope i whakawhiwhia ki te Operation Torch
, te whakaekenga a nga Tauiwi o Awherika ki te Raki o Awherika, i whakaritea mo Whiringa-a-rangi. Ko Eisenhower te taitara Kaiwhakahaere-i-te-Tumu, Allied Expeditionary Force. I muri tata mai i te whakaturanga o te tari matua, "Expeditionary" i mukua mai i tana taitara, mo nga take haumaru whakahaere. Na reira ka riro a Eisenhower hei Kaiwhakahaere-i-te-Runga, i te Kaha o te Allied. I nekehia te HQ ki Gibraltar i te 5 o Noema 1942, ka neke ki Algiers i te 28 o Noema 1942.
