Served in the Southwest Pacific Theater with Command, Service Squadron, 10th Division, supply barges. Stationed off shore in the areas of battles fought by the Navy fleets within 300 to 500 miles of combat, so that the fleet did not have to travel back to Hawaii or the west coast of the U.S for supplies. Supplies were brought to them via the Merchant Marine fleet.
