According to airfields-freemandotcom/AK/Airfields_AKdothtm: 

Fort Randall Army Airfield was constructed during World War II during the secret military buildup of the Territory of Alaska that began in 1941. Disguised as civilian employees of the Blair Canning & Packing Company, United States Army personnel in civilian clothes were shipped to Cold Bay. Construction began in December 1941, and the airfield was ready for operation by March 1942. The primary airfield had two 5,000 ft. asphalt runways. Two miles to the southeast was a separate satellite field with a single 5,000 ft. gravel northwest/southeast runway. It is not known what use (if any) the satellite airfield served.                                                                      

Known units assigned to Fort Randall Army Airfield were: 1942-43: 73rd Bombardment Squadron, 1942-43: 344th Fighter Squadron,

June–July 1942: 54th Fighter Squadron, May–September 1942: 11th Fighter Squadron.

Fort Randall Army was redesignated to a Naval Auxiliary Air Facility on 4/1/43.
