There is more to the local effort during the Second World War than the Naval Ordinance Plant (NOP) and the Army Air Base that became the Pocatello Municipal Airport. It was a time of total community involvement. This illustrated tour through the war years in Pocatello includes the efforts of the USO Hut, the supplemental education program provided by local teachers to improve literacy among draftees on the air base, the naval mechanic program at the University of Idaho, Southern Branch (now ISU) and the involvement of high school students in the bond drives, saving stamp programs, agricultural harvests and more.
