Tuhia he tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I tonoa e Devers he waea ki a Marshall i te 1 o Hōngongoi e tono ana kia whakatūria he rōpū hōia, ko ia hei rangatira. I whakaae a Eisenhower ki tenei i te 12 o Hurae. Ahakoa he māmā noa iho te tāpiri i te ope taua tuawhitu ki te rōpū ope taua tekau mā rua a Bradley, ko te tikanga o tēnei ka mahi a Eisenhower ki ngā Wīwī, ā, i muri i tōna wheako i Operation Torch
I pai a Eisenhower ki te tuku i a Devers ki te mahi. I whakaritea e Marshall i te 16 o Hōngongoi. Na, i mau a Devers i nga " potae" e wha mo te mahi: Kaiwhakahaere Tuarua o te Kaiwhakahaere Matua o te Allied, Mediterranean Theater; Ko te Kaiwhakahaere Matua o NATOUSA; Ko te Kaiwhakahaere, Ko te AFHQ o te AFHQ, i whakahohehia i te 29 o Hurae; me te Kaiwhakahaere Matua, 6th Army Group, i whakahohehia e Devers i te 1 o Akuhata.
