U.S. Army Facilities

At least 14 U.S. Army facilities held Japanese Americans during World War II. Most were within the coterminous United States, but there were also four small internment camps in Hawaii and a temporary detention camp at a military base in Alaska. Only one of the U.S. Army internment camps, Camp Lordsburg in New Mexico, was built specifically for the internment of Japanese Americans. Another, at Stringtown, Oklahoma, was at a state prison, and the remainder were located on existing military bases.
