"Sandy" Jarman was born in Louisiana and graduated
from West Point in 1908. He specialized in artillery and was in command of the
coast artillery of the Panama
Canal Zone when war broke out. Early in 1942 he became the
commander of the antiaircraft
defenses of the United States.
Jarman was assigned
to take command of the Saipan
garrison once the island was captured. He
relieved Ralph Smith
as commander of 27
Division under orders from Holland
Smith on 27 June 1944, but
was himself relieved shortly thereafter to resume command of the
garrison.
Jarman was a huge man, at 6'5" (196cm) and 250
pounds (113 kg).
