                       OFFICE OF THE COMMANDING GENERAL
                               KODIAK, ALASKA


                                                        June 3, 1942

MEMORANDUM:  To Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers, Fort Greely.

     Japs have attacked Dutch Harbor.
     
     We do not know the results of this attack.  The Japs came a long way and
we were thoroughly on the alert throught Alaska.  We do not know the size of
the Jap force but I believe that the advantage is ours.

     We will very probably have an air attack here.  From now on, until this
situation is over, all observation posts and others charged with the duty of
observation, must be keenly alert.  The remainder of the command should get the
maximum rest.  Everyone on the post should sleep in his clothes with his
weapon and ammunition at hand.

     If an air alert sounds everyone must get to his slit-trench with his
weapon ready to fire on hostile aircraft.  As soon as an air raid is over,
he must be prepared to join his company or detachment quickly and without
confusion.

     If the Japs come here, we are going to give them the whipping of their
lives.



                                                 CHARLES H. CORLETT
                                                 Brigadier General, U.S.A.
                                                 Commanding.
