Within the period which followed the proclamation of the Philippines' independence, 1946, the country became one of the few states where a woman occupied the highest position in the Government. Corazon Aquino was elected president of the republic in 1984. If we also mention that the Philippine women include hundreds of physicians, business managers, university professors, and that they form two thirds of the law students in the country, we might conclude, from the above facts, that the Philippine woman has' achieved a high degree of freedom and modernism.

This is a comparison of the difficult situations facing two different American armies, one in the Philippines in 1941-1942 and the other in contemporary Europe, headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany. Although there are many differences between the two situations confronting the two armies, there also are similarities. Both armies were understrength, consisting of about 30,000 US soldiers. Both operated in a resource-constrained environment. Both had to prepare to contend with large, aggressive powers in the region. Both armies were responsible for the defense of a broad regional expanse. The United States Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) ultimately were ill-prepared when the Japanese struck the Philippines on 8 December 1941. It is important that United States Army Europe (USAREUR) and its allies do not meet a fate similar to what their comrades in arms did in 1942.
