Schofield Barracks (158.01W
21.47N) was an important Army base in central Oahu, dating back to 1908. When war broke out, there were
three battalions of service troops here, along with 24 Division,
25 Division,
and 34
Engineer Regiment. This was the largest concentration of regular U.S. Army troops anywhere in
the world. Wheeler Field was located adjacent to the base on an old cavalry drill ground.
