Base ordnance Marines close the door of a subterranean tunnel magazine at the Ulupau Crater and reset the security system after collecting ammunition and ordnance for a training exercise on Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Jan. 23. The exact reason the magazines were built in the manner they were has been lost to history, but the magazines may have originated as fallout shelters during the post-World War II era of the late 1940s, said Chief Warrant Officer 4 Al Crespo, the base ordnance officer in charge and a native of New York City. At any time, base ordnance is required to maintain a prescribed stockpile to keep with the current and future demands of tenant units and training operations.
