I went to school 1961-65 (HPA) in Kamuela. We knew about the "army base" there but not until now did I realize it was the Marine's Camp Tarawa. We would occasional find "army junk" and almost got kick out of school for bring back a hand grenade.

Thank you for this eye opening information. I'll be going "home" this summer and will definitely revisit Waimea Kamuela and Camp Tarawa.
