Island Commander

The United States have used the title for several of its insular possessions, considered too small to have a higher official such as a (Lieutenant) Governor .

Wake Island since 4 July 1898 till present

two of the three islands that previously had been under the two consecutive Heads of the Baker, Howland and Jarvis Colonization Scheme, 1935 - 7 February 1942 ( Jarvis Island only had an international Station Chief afterwards):

--- it is administered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service as Baker and Howland Islands National Wildlife Refuge.

--- Johnston Atoll 1934-2003; on 1 January 2004 the island was turned over to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as Johnston Atoll Wildlife Refuge

Midway Islands June 1940 - 31 October 1996 ; since administered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service as Midway Island National Wildlife Refuge

Palmyra Atoll November 1939 - 1947 while occupied by U.S. military forces; since 15 August 1941 it harbours Palmyra U.S. Naval Air Station
