	Pacific Theater of Operations
		The Pacific Theater of Operations, or PTO, was the term used by the United States in World War II to refer to all military activity in the Pacific Ocean and the countries bordering it.
		Indeed, the organization chart[?] was rather tangled, with the Joint Chiefs of Staff frequently required to be involved, and the Army and Navy commanders reporting to both the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of War.
		The main commands in the PTO were the Pacific Fleet, commanded by Admiral Chester Nimitz and the Southwest Pacific Area[?] command, run by General Douglas MacArthur.

		PTO IV is turn-based, so you start each round in a strategy phase where you design and build your fleets, gather intelligence, and go fight the enemy.
		Pacific Theater of Operations IV follows in the line of Koei's underpublised but successful title series of World War Two combat at sea.
		But, the sheer depth and beauty of PTO IV that many novices miss is in the ability to design and create your own types of aircraft and warships; modify exisiting warships; and continually upgrade both based upon your research and development expedititures.

	Pacific Theater of Operations - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		The Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO) is the term used in the United States for all military activity in the Pacific Ocean and the countries bordering it, in World War II.
		The term "theater of operations" was defined in the [American] field manuals as the land and sea areas to be invaded or defended, including areas necessary for administrative activities incident to the military operations (chart 12).
		In accordance with the experience of World War I, it was usually conceived of as a large land mass over which continuous operations would take place and was divided into two chief areas-the combat zone, or the area of active fighting, and the communications zone, or area required for administration of the theater.

	eBROG - WWII: Pacific Theater of Operations by TSR/SPI
		A case could even be made that, because so many of the individual battles and campaigns in the Pacific were historically so one-sided, it is only at the theater level that players can expect to find a real opportunity to make decisions that would effect the final outcome.
		What leaves PTO eligible for consideration at all is that none of these have succeeded in establishing themselves as the ultimate simulation of the event.
		Being so operational oriented, PTO is much less of a challenge than the tactical-leaning King Kongs, such as EATS and War in the Pacific (with which it has nothing in common).
