Administrative/Biographical History:

The U.S. military base on Adak Island began its existence on August 28, 1942 when American

submarines delivered an Army scouting party to determine whether Japanese military forces

were present. The Japanese had attacked Dutch Harbor/Unalaska from the air two months

earlier and then occupied Attu and Kiska Islands, further to the west. On August 30th, 4500

troops and tons of heavy equipment were landed on Adak from seventeen ships and

construction of temporary, and then permanent, facilities was begun. At first Adak was under

the control of the Army. A shallow lagoon off Kuluk Bay was drained and a Marston mat

aircraft runway was serviceable within weeks, allowing Army Air Corps bombers to take off for

attacks on Kiska and Attu. At the same time, Navy operations were centered on the east side

of Lake Andrew where amphibious PBY aircraft departed for surveillance and bombing

operations.

Until Adak was occupied, operations against the Japanese had come from the Umnak Island

airfield near Dutch Harbor/Unalaska 300 miles to the east. Flights from Adak were shorter,

more effective, and safer.

In May 1943 about 27,000 combat troops gathered at Adak ready to support the invasion of

Attu. After three weeks of bloody fighting, the Japanese forces were defeated. In August

1943, an invasion force of 90,000 troops was staged on Adak to launch amphibious attacks on

Attu and Kiska. More than 100 ships were in the harbor. On August 15 the invasion force

landed on Kiska only to discover that the Japanese had evacuated under the cover of fog.

Thereafter, the Aleutian Islands remained under Allied control. Although this was the end of

combat in the Aleutians, development of Adak’s infrastructure continued. Adak’s role was to

support operations at newer bases further to the west; the island was also used to launch

raids against the Japanese in the Kurile Islands. Adak became the largest military base in the

Aleutians with facilities to accommodate 50,000 men.

In 1948 the Adak base changed from Army to Air Force control, and in 1950 the Navy took

control. Rising concerns over Soviet military power during the Cold War led to expansion of

facilities and operations, including submarine surveillance; at its peak the station housed 6000

Navy personnel and their families. Support facilities included theaters, churches, elementary

and high schools, a bowling alley, a library, a swimming pool, and a MacDonald’s restaurant.

Adak remained under Navy control until the Adak Naval Air Station was decommissioned on

March 31, 1997.

Ownership of the facilities passed to the Aleut/Pribilof Native Corporation and the City of

Adak, which have worked to reconfigure Adak into a support base for commercial fishing

operations in the Aleutians. In 2001 Adak organized as a second-class city and currently

(2017) has a population of about 100-300. The southern half of the island is administered by

the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge.
