Jerauld Wright was part of the clandestine Clark mission to Algeria that preceded Operation TORCH and commanded the operation to rescue Giraud from southern France. He subsequently participated in the Sicily and Salerno landings before transferring to the Pacific to command of Santa Fe and participation in the Central Pacific campaign. Promoted to flag rank, he commanded the decoy group during the Okinawa invasion.

Wright was praised postwar by Washington Post for his combination of strength of conviction, diplomatic skills, and personal modesty.
