Tuhia he tomokanga mo tenei pene - I hangaia te taunga rererangi i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao hei Fort Randall Army Airfield i te wa o te whakatipu hoia huna o te Rohe o Alaska i tiimata mai i te 1941. I te tīmatanga, i whakaarohia kia hangaia e te taputapu te papa rererangi o te ope taua o McGrath, engari kua maroke te whenua i te wa i tae mai ai te taputapu. I whakapakarihia hei kaimahi noa o te Blair Canning and Packing Company, i tukuna nga kaimahi o te ope taua o te United States ki Cold Bay. I tīmata te hanganga i te Hakihea 1941, a kua rite te papa rererangi mo te mahi i te Maehe 1942. Na te whakaaro nui o nga rangatira hoia o Alaska, ko te papa rererangi hou, me tetahi atu papa rererangi ngaro hou, Cape Field i Umnak, kua rite ki te awhina ki te tiaki i Alaska ki te whakaeke rererangi a Imperial Japanese Navy i te Pakanga o Dutch Harbor
i te Pipiri o te tau 1942. I noho tonu te papa rererangi i Cold Bay i te wa o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao.
