Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whakahohehia te Whare Whakangungu Amphibious (i te timatanga o te Whakahaere Whakangungu Amphibious) i Camp Edwards i raro i te whakahau a Army Ground Forces i te 22 o Mei 1942, i muri mai i te Engineer Amphibian Command i raro i te United States Army Corps of Engineers i te 10 o Pipiri 1942. Ko te Whare Whakangungu Amphibious i whakahaua i te timatanga e Colonel Frank A. Keating. Ko te whakahau amphibian i whakahaua e Colonel Daniel Noce, me te Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Trudeau hei rangatira o tana kaimahi. I whiriwhiria a Camp Edwards mo te mea he pou kua whakaturia e tata ana ki nga takutai moana. Ahakoa i mohiotia e kore e tika mo te whakangungu i te hotoke, ko te kaupapa tuatahi ko te whakangungu ka mutu i te marama o Noema 1942. I whakaarohia e te whakamahere he whakaekenga o Uropi i te tau 1942, engari i whakarerekētia hei tautoko i te
whakaekenga o Awherika ki te Raki i te Hakihea 1942.
