Markii ciidamada Badda ay ogaadeen in Japan ay qorshaynayso in ay biyaha Alaska ku soo duulaan
Hawlgalka badhtamaha ah, Admiral Nimitz wuxuu qoondeeyay shan maraakiib, afar iyo toban burburiye, lix maraakiibta hoostiisa mara, iyo ciidamada gacan ka geysta ee ku habboon si ay uga hortagaan xoogagga ka soo horjeeda ee Waqooyiga. Shan sano ka hor bilawgii dagaalka, deegaankaasi wuxuu ahaa mid aan difaac lahayn. Laakiin bishii Sebtember 1941, Sitka, Kodiak, iyo Dutch Harbor ayaa loo xilsaaray inay noqdaan Saldhigyada Cirka ee Ciidamada Badda, iyo Kodiak iyo Sitka labaduba waxay awoodeen inay u adeegaan maraakiibta quusta. Badhtamihii 1940, Ciidanka ayaa aasaasay Taliska Difaaca Alaska, oo uu hoggaaminayo Brigadier General Simon Bolivar Buckner; iyo Ciidanka Badda ayaa abuuray Qaybta Alaska ee hoos timaada Degmada 13aad ee Badda, iyagoo magacaabay Kabtan Ralph C. Parker oo ah hoggaamiye.
