The Official Chronology of the U.S. Navy in World War II--1941 In the event that Germany invades Spain and Portugal, the Joint Board (the oldest inter-service agency, established in 1903 to facilitate Army-Navy planning) approves a plan for an occupation of the Portuguese Azores Islands; the joint Marine Corps-Army effort is to be headed by Major General Holland M. Smith, USMC (Commanding General 1st Marine Division).
