Note to Map
These sites appear on a 1946 map of training areas prepared by the Army and contained in a report titled “TRAFAC: Training Facilities and Data Relative Thereto” (no date). The G-3 History, to which the TRAFAC report is annexed, acknowledges that “certain facilities established during the war were closed prior to the cessation of hostilities and are, therefore, omitted from these maps.” Some of the omissions are significant. The G-3 History lists them as follows:
(1) Maui:
(a) Maui Amphibious Training Center on the East shore between Blue Beach and Navy Lavender Beach;
(b) Underwater obstacle course on the East shore between Navy Violet and Lavender Beaches;
(2) Hawai`i:
(a) Maneuver and impact in Kilauea Crater, near Kilauea Military Camp, utilized for artillery and general training;
(b) Anti-tank range and a large artillery range and impact area near Camp Pohakuloa, adjacent to Mauna Kea;
(c) A large jungle warfare and maneuver area in the vicinity of Camps Kilohana, Furneaux, and Ola`a, south of Hilo;
(d) A jungle training area on the North Shore where Marine amphibious course is presently located; and another east of this location inland from Waipi`o Bay;
(e) A combat training center near Mountain View (approximate coordinates 1330-2465) with the following courses: combat, infiltration, bayonet, obstacle, combat in cities, and grenade;
(f) A combat firing range, with a fortified position area included (coordinates 1345-2460) nearly due east of Mountain View.
