Atka Air Force Auxiliary Field FUDS Risk Assessment
The Atka Air Force Auxiliary Field Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) in Alaska was jointly used by the Army Air Corps and the U.S. Navy from 1942 to 1945. The U.S. Army constructed an airfield that became operational in November 1942. Atka was primarily a U.S. Army installation although the U.S. Navy also performed air operations from there and serviced weather stations and submarine cable systems. By late 1945, the base at Atka was largely abandoned. The Atka FUDS required a remedial investigation (RI).
