2. Purpose of Supplement
a. This supplement amplifies the Basic Projects outlined
in Par. 1, References. It is intended to furnish a concise record
of the status of existing harbor defense fortification construction
and equipment that is on hand and that which has been approved by
the War Department. To make available to those concerned informa-
tion of a technical and tactical nature which is not otherwise
available in usable form.
3. Mission of Harbor Defense.
a. This Harbor Defense will defend the Naval Operating
Base against naval attack, protect friendly naval vessels and
shipping against naval attack, support the beach defense within
range of its armament, and support the land defense of Kodiak by
landward firing within range of its armament.
4. Tactical Orginazation.
a. The Harbor Defenses of Kodiak are composed of four
Forts--Ft. Greely, Ft. J.H. Smith, Ft. Tidball and Ft. Abercrombie.
The Harbor Defense Command Post is at Ft. Greely. The batteries
at Ft. J. H. Smith are organized under Group One. The batteries
at Ft. Tidball are organized under Group Two. The batteries at
Ft. Greely and Ft. Abercrombie are seperate batteries under the
command of the Harbor Defense Command Post.
b. For the tactical organization of the Harbor Defenses
see Exhibit No. 1.

7. Defense Against Motor Torpedo Boats.
a. References. Site approval for AMTB batteries was given
in Harbor Defense Project, Harbor Defenses of Kodiak, Alaska dated
23 April 1943 as approved by Radio 0701152 from HQ. ADC to Command-
ing General, Ft. Greely, dated 7 May 1943. War Department letter
17 April 1943, AG 660.2 OB-S-SPDDO-M, Subject: "Defense of Harbors

c. All projected AMTB batteries are completed.
d. All lands for AMTB batteries have been procured. See
Par. 9.
8. Protective Concealment.
a. Authority for project. The Corps of Engineers pre-
pared the protective concealment plan for the Harbor Defense as
directed in Par. 9 (a) AR 100-3.
b. Elements covered. This plan called for the camou-
flage of all of the elements of the Harbor Defense.
c. Outline of plan.
(1) Fixed batteries. The general plan of the camou-
flage of the three fixed gun batteries is to
prepare permanent camouflage which will be last-
ing and will completely hide the gun installa-
tions. The use of artificial camoflauge is to
be held to a minimum.
(A) The plan is to backfill the magazine
completely and to make this backfill
irregular and to confirm with the original
contours as possible. The backfill is to
be sodded to conform with the surrounding
vegetation.
- 13 -
(B) Each gun position is to be covered with an
imitation rock. This rock is to be a thin
shell of pigmented cement irregular in
shape with grass and moss growing on it.
(C) Only essential roads have been left in the
construction plan.
(2) 155mm. Gun batteries. The major consideration
in camoflauge of these batteries is to conceal
and do away with the symmetry of the 4 Panama
mounts of each position.
(3) AMTB Gun battereis. These two batteries were
not covered in original project but are being
camoflauged with nets and garlands. They were
given as much concealment by their emplacement
as possible.
(4) Towers. Towers are being painted and the
silhouettes broken by the addition of shadow
breakers of wood and net.
(5) Searchlights and generator houses. These
buildings have a low silhouette and are dug-in
and backfilled. The generator and searchlight
entrances are to have sloping doors or covers
made from camoflauge nets and garlands.
d. This project is being completed by the Harbor Defense
troops.
