U.S. Prefabricated Pill Box. Hawaii Army Museum. In the months before Dec 7th, many of these steel pillboxes were planted to defend military installations, airfields, and likely landing beaches around Oahu. Once buried in position, the 2-man crew entered through culvert pipe openings at the base to operate light machine guns housed in the revolving turret.
