Detailed explanation-1: -The American-British-Dutch-Australian (ABDA) Command, or ABDACOM, was the short-lived supreme command for all Allied forces in South East Asia in early 1942, during the Pacific War in World War II. The command consisted of the forces of Australia, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and the United States.
Detailed explanation-2: -Activated on January 15, 1942, the American-British-Dutch-Australian (ABDA) Command was ordered to combat the Japanese expansion in South-East Asia. The Supreme Commander was Field Marshall Sir Archibald Wavell. For the naval forces, Admiral Thomas C. Hart, USN, was initially in command.
Detailed explanation-3: -A unified American–British–Dutch–Australian Command, ABDACOM, under Wavell, responsible for holding Malaya, Sumatra, Java, and the approaches to Australia, became operative on January 15, 1942; but the Japanese had already begun their advance on the oil-rich Dutch East Indies.
Detailed explanation-4: -It will argue that ABDACOM failed because of divergent national objectives of the ABDACOM nations–the United States, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Australia.
