William P. "Deacon" Upshur was a 60-year-old major general commanding the Pacific Fleet's amphibious forces at the start of the war. A graduate of the Virginia Military Institute rather than Annapolis, he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions against Cacos bandits in Haiti in 1915. He also fought with 13 Marine Regiment in France in World War I. He was an early advocate of the LVT, having evaluated Roebling's "Alligator" as an umpire during FLEX 5 in January-March 1939.
