EW test question: How did Halsey know to send Air Force P-38s to knock
Admiral Yamamoto out of the sky in the South Pacific during WWII?
Cryptography and signals intelligence - which aren't usually
considered forms of EW at all AFAIK.
I was to write the same.... I have only to add that in the EW & Crypto
environment is easy to steal merits... Even very high brasses don't have
necessarly all the various "need to know" clearances to effectively
adjudge merits and esp. the following promotions & increase in resources....

It is the "decision-making" that is the key to the primacy of the
brass, IIRC the decision was made to hit Yamamoto despite the belief
that the act would reveal the Allies ability to read Naval codes.
JN-25D the latest.

meh... I can understand Vince's misunderstanding, but you, Jack, really
surprise me... I was saying not about Yamamoto, but in larger and
broader terms, and not only the spook/black gizmo people of the US of
A... I wonder how you haven't get the point...
