		The temporary arrangements adopted for amphibious training and organization in preparation for TORCH by no means settled, but rather drew attention to, the jurisdictional problems that would have to be resolved.if training for assault landings was to keep pace with plans for amphibious warfare in the Atlantic and the Pacific.

	Chapter XII: THE ELIMINATION OF THE ALTERNATIVES
		The President and the Prime Minister have agreed that combined military operations be directed against Africa, as early as practicable, with a view to gaining, in conjunction with Allied Forces in the Middle East, complete control of North Africa from the Atlantic to the Red Sea.
		As a corollary, both the speed and scale of operations in Algeria and eastward into Tunisia would initially be sharply restricted by the limited port facilities on the Atlantic and the slender overland communications.
		If the operation were replanned with limited ends, Handy observed, TORCH would still provide for landings inside and outside the Mediterranean, though not in enough force to give much chance of occupying the north coast of Africa and finally of opening the Mediterranean.
