NOTE: Some time intervals shown between assignments are assumed to be a small number of leave days and/or travel time, and in some cases clearing customs following international travel. Major blocks of leave time are noted. Single day differences were occasionally noted between Stilwell diaries, Stilwell summary notes, and orders. In these cases preference was given to daily diary entries when available.
