IMMEDIATE RELLASE
APRIL 10, 1951
ORDER TO LT. GEN. MATTHE: B. RIDGWAY
FROM GENERAL GEORGE C. MARSHALL, SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.
The President has decided to relieve General MacArthur and ap-
point you as his successor as Supreme Commander, Allied Powers; Com-
mander in Chief, United Nations Command; Commander in Chief, Far East;
and Commanding General, U. S. Army, Far East.
It is realized that your presence in Korea in the immediate
future is highly important, but we are sure you can make the proper
distribution of your time until you can turn over active command of
the Eighth Army to its new commander. For this purpose, Lt. Gen. James
A. Van Fleet is enroute to report to you for such duties as you may
direct.
