Bellows Air Force Station Bellows Air Force Station ( Bellows Field ) is a United States military reservation located in Waimanalo , Hawaii . Once an important air field during World War II , the reservation now serves as a military training area and recreation area for active and retired military and civilian employees of the Department of Defense . It is operated by Detachment 2 , 18th Force Support Squadron of the 18th Mission Support Group based at Kadena Air Force Base , Okinawa , Japan . Created in 1917 as the Waimanalo Military Reservation , the base was renamed " Bellows Field " in 1933 after Lt . Franklin Barney Bellows , a World War I war hero . Bellows Field was made a permanent military post in July 1941 , and it was one of the airfields attacked during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 , 1941 . Bellows Field was used for recreational gliders in the late fifties and early sixties . A truck would tow a glider into the air , then the glider pilot would release the tow cable and then catch updrafts from the prevailing wind blowing inshore and deflecting upwards from the very nearby mountains . In this way the pilot could keep the glider in the air as long as desired . Marine Corps Training Area Bellows . The Marine Corps acquired approximately 1 , 049 acres of Bellows from the Air Force in 1999 . The Marine Corps Training Area Bellows is now part of Marine Corps Base Hawaii , headquartered in Kaneohe Bay . MCTAB adds significant training capabilities and maneuver space for non - live fire military training activities . The Marines and other services use the training areas to conduct amphibious , helicopter , and motorized exercises in conjunction with troop land maneuver training . It is currently the only place in Hawaii where amphibious landings can transition directly into maneuver training areas for extremely realistic military training . Recent improvements to the training area over the old runway include construction of a forward operating base ( FOB ) mock - up around the old Bldg . 700 , Bldg . 700 renovations , and a modular military operations in urban terrain ( MOUT ) training system that consists of 74 buildings ( made from shipping containers ) on four separate sites . Additional containers have been moved into the main training area to be used as part of a combat vehicle operators ' course for Marines to simulate driving in real - world conditions .

Anadyrsk Anadyrsk was an important Russian ostrog ( fortified settlement ) in far northeastern Siberia from 1649 to 1764 . It was on the Anadyr River , near the head of small - boat navigation , about 300 miles upstream , near the present Markovo . In 1649 Semyon Dezhnyov built a " zimov ' ye " ( winter quarters ) here after being wrecked on the Pacific coast the previous year . In 1650 Mikhail Stadukhin and Semyon Motora arrived overland from the Kolyma River . In 1659 Kurbat Ivanov took over , build a proper stockade and made major improvements in administration . About 1697 , Anadyrsk was the launching place for Vladimir Atlasov ' s conquest of Kamchatka . The local Chukchis and Koryaks were warlike , and the post was attacked a number of times . Kennan reports its garrison through much of its service was 600 men and a battery of artillery . Its importance declined with the opening of the sea route through Okhotsk to Kamchatka in 1718 . Subsequently , its importance was limited to interactions with the Chukchis . Concluding that attempts to collect tribute from the Chukchis were not a paying proposition , the Russian government of Catherine II ordered Anadyrsk abandoned in 1764 . In 1866 , when it was visited by George Kennan ( at that time only the second non - Russian or non - native in living memory to do so ) , Anadyrsk consisted of four villages : Markovo ( the central one ) , Pokorukov , Psolkin and Krepost . There were about 200 inhabitants and a priest . Krepost ( ' fort ' ) was the site of the Anadyrsk fort , on a bank about 30 feet above the level of the river , and at that time consisted of a dozen log cabins , with no trace of the old fortifications visible . Markovo was about 15 verst s ( 16 km ) upriver , and Pokorukov a further 20 versts . Kennan described it as the Ultima Thule of Russian civilization . reprint 1986 ISBN 0 - 87905 - 254 - 6 ; reprint 2007 ISBN 1 - 60239 - 045 - 2 .

During World War I the Alpinis saw heavy combat all over the alpine arch . The war has become known as the " War in snow and ice " , as most of the 600 km frontline ran through the highest mountains and glaciers of the Alps and every position was occupied around the whole year . It was during these years that the Alpini , their spirit and their mules became legend , although at the cost of over 120 , 000 deaths out of a total of 400 , 000 mobilized Alpinis . During this time many songs originated within the Alpini corps that tell of the hardships and brutality of this conflict . After World War I former members ( called : " Veci " ) founded choirs in their hometowns and offered thus the Italian people a glimpse into the hardships of the " War in Snow and Ice " . Some of the most famous and well known Alpini songs are :

USS War Bug ( SP - 1795 ) USS " War Bug " ( SP - 1795 ) was a three - armed motorboat in commission in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917 to 1918 . " War Bug " was built as the wooden - hulled motorboat " Herreshoff 320 " at Bristol , Rhode Island , in 1917 by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company for a private owner , and probably was designed with possible naval service in mind . The U . S . Navy purchased " Herreshoff 320 " from Felix Warburg of New York City on 6 November 1917 for use as a patrol vessel in World War I . Armed and designated SP - 1795 , she was commissioned as USS " War Bug " on 17 November 1917 . " War Bug " was assigned to the 1st Naval District and served in waters near Boston , Massachusetts , through the end of World War I . Due to an urgent need for craft such as " War Bug " at Brest , France , an order dated 14 October 1918 went out from Washington , D . C . , to Boston directing the Commandant of the 1st Naval District to ready six section patrol boats - - USS " Commodore " ( SP - 1425 ) , USS " Cossack " ( SP - 695 ) , " War Bug " , USS " Sea Hawk " ( SP - 2365 ) , USS " Kangaroo " ( SP - 1284 ) , and USS " SP - 729 " — to be shipped to France as deck cargo along with spare parts to keep them operational . However , this proposed movement appears to have been cancelled , probably because of the armistice with Germany of 11 November 1918 that ended World War I and eliminated the need for more U . S . Navy patrol craft in Europe . Decommissioned on 28 December 1918 , " War Bug " was sold on 30 June 1919 to E . Atkins and Co . , of Boston .
