The Harbor Defenses of Argentia and St. John's was a United States Army Coast Artillery Corps harbor defense command in World War II, it was part of the Newfoundland Base Command, established as a result of the 1940 Destroyers for Bases Agreement with the United Kingdom. It coordinated the US Army coast defenses of Naval Station Argentia and the port of St. John's, Newfoundland from January 1941 to August 1945; these included coast artillery at Fort McAndrew in Fort Pepperrell in St. John's. On 15 January 1941 the Newfoundland Base Command was activated on board the United States Army troop transport ship USAT Edmund B. Alexander at the New York Port of Embarkation; the ship departed for Argentia and St. John's on the 20th, arriving at Argentia on the 25th to drop off troops and construction personnel, soon docking in St. John's as a barracks ship until May 1941, when housing for the garrison was finished; the ship brought troops of the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, Battery A of the 57th Coast Artillery Regiment with four mobile 155 mm guns, Battery B of the 62nd Coast Artillery Regiment.

It appears the 155 mm gun battery may have been split with two guns each at Argentia and St. John's, it is the other units were split also. Although the harbor defense command was activated with the arrival of the 155 mm gun battery, it was on a small scale initially. On 27 March 1941 the United States signed the Lend-Lease agreement which gave possession of the site for Fort Pepperrell near St. John's; the Naval Operating Base at Naval Station Argentia was commissioned on 15 July 1941. On 20 July 1941 the 155 mm gun battery was redesignated as Battery A, 53rd Coast Artillery Regiment, on 1 August 1941 the AA battery was redesignated as Battery A, 421st CA Battalion. At some time the remainder of the 421st arrived in Newfoundland. On 14 April 1942 the 422nd CA arrived in Newfoundland. On 11 November 1943 the CA battalions were redesignated as Antiaircraft Artillery Battalions. Both battalions returned to the United States in January 1944. During 1941 two Lend-Lease 10-inch M1888 disappearing guns were emplaced at Fort Cape Spear near St. John's.

Another pair of 10-inch guns were at Botwood in northern Newfoundland. These were supplemented by at least two Canadian-manned QF 4.7-inch B Mark IV* guns at Fort Amherst. On 1 May 1941 part of Battery D, 52nd Coast Artillery Regiment arrived at Fort Pepperrell with two 8-inch M1888 railway guns emplaced at Signal Hill. At some point in 1942-43 they moved to Red Cliff. In the summer of 1941, USS Prairie deployed to Argentia to house flag headquarters for the base. On 7 December 1941 the United States entered World War II following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Construction ramped up at US facilities in Newfoundland; the major effort at this time was the construction of Battery 281 and Battery 282 at Fort McAndrew from January through October 1942. These batteries had two 6-inch guns each, on shielded long-range carriages with reinforced concrete and earth bunkers housing magazines and fire control equipment. Two indicator loop stations for magnetic detection of submarines were established in Newfoundland.

On 14 February 1942 the 1st Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment was activated in Newfoundland, joining the 3rd Battalion. The 2nd Battalion moved to Greenland at some point soon afterward, the regiment departed Newfoundland in September 1943. On 16 February 1942 the 8-inch and 155 mm batteries were redesignated as elements of the 24th Coast Artillery Regiment, which became the primary coast artillery unit in Newfoundland through October 1944 at least, to the end of hostilities; the regimental headquarters and two additional batteries arrived at Fort McAndrew on 25 March 1942.18 February 1942 saw the Argentia base at the center of one of the worst accidental disasters in the US Navy's history when USS Pollux and USS Truxtun grounded and were lost with heavy casualties 75 mi southwest of the base. Truxtun lost Pollux lost 95 men. USS Wilkes grounded, but with no loss of life. Over 100 victims were buried in Argentia's military cemetery. By the end of 1942 the US-manned coast defense gun batteries in Newfoundland were as follows: The Anti-Motor Torpedo Boat batteries had four 90 mm dual-purpose guns each, two on fixed mounts and two on towed mounts.

The 24th Coast Artillery was reduced to a battalion on 23 March 1943. The unit was inactivated in January 1944, in October 1944 the battalion was reorganized with at least one battery inactivated. If inactivated its functions and personnel were transferred to the harbor defense command, its date of return to the US is unclear, unusually it was not inactivated until 8 September 1945. Following the war, it was soon determined that gun defenses were obsolete, most guns were scrapped by the end of 1948. Argentia remained a US Navy station until 1995, Fort Pepperrell b

Red Lion Hotels Corporation, doing business as RLH Corporation, is an American hospitality corporation that engages in the franchising and ownership of upscale and economy hotels. Red Lion, headquartered in Denver, has 90,000 rooms across more than 1,400 properties in North America; the company originated as a property management and commercial development company when it was founded in Spokane, Washington in 1937 under the name Goodale & Barbieri Company. In 1976, Goodale & Barbieri acquired the River Inn in Spokane, launching the company into the hotel business; the Cavanaughs brand name was created in 1980 for its hotel operations. By 1987, the company established a computerized event ticketing company, G&B Select A Seat, now known as TicketsWest. Preparing for an Initial Public Offering, Goodale & Barbieri Company adopted its hotel brand into its corporate identity in 1997, changing its name to Cavanaughs Hospitality Corporation; the IPO was completed in April 1998, Cavanaughs began trading under the ticker CVH.

By the end of 1999, Cavanaughs announced it would acquire its regional rival, Seattle-based WestCoast Hotels, Inc. with transaction closing on January 7, 2000. On March 1, 2000, the combined company began trading under the new ticker, WEH. Recognizing the broader geographic reach of the WestCoast name, Cavanaughs changed its name to WestCoast Hospitality Corporation with the launch of its new stock ticker and announced plans to rebrand its hotels into the WestCoast name. In addition to the expanded hotel portfolio following the acquisition of WestCoast, the company announced plans to franchise properties under its brand. By 2001, the company grew again. Capitalizing on the Red Lion brand, a majority of the company's WestCoast Hotels properties were rebranded to the Red Lion name within the two years following the acquisition. In September 2005, further realizing the revitalization of the Red Lion name, WestCoast Hospitality Corporation assumed its present-day name, Red Lion Hotels Corporation.

In 2006, RLHC divested its property development operations by spinning-off that segment into an independent entity, G&B Real Estate Companies. Red Lion Hotels Corporation further expanded its hotel operations. In October 2014, RLHC announced a new upscale conversion brand, Hotel RL. In April 2015, RLHC acquired GuestHouse International, LLC and its two brands, GuestHouse International and Settle Inn & Suites, from Boomerang Hotels in a deal with up to $10 million; the acquisition more than doubled Red Lion's size from 57 properties to 130 properties and added 5,187 rooms to its portfolio. In September 2016, RLHC acquired Vantage Hospitality Group and its brands Vantage Hotels, Americas Best Value Inn, Canadas Best Value Inn, Lexington by Vantage, America's Best Inns and Suites, Country Hearth Inns, Jameson Inns, Signature Inn, 3 Palms Hotels & Resorts. Following up on its acquisition of Vantage and its nine brands, RLHC pared down its brand lineup and positioning in May 2017 to eliminate market position overlaps and provide its franchisees the flexibility to move between brands.

In addition to retiring the Vantage name, the announcement eliminated five of the nine Vantage brands – keeping only Signature Inn, Americas Best Value Inn, Canadas Best Value Inn, Country Hearth Inn & Suites. All five of Red Lion's pre-acquisition brands were maintained; the eliminated Vantage brands competed directly with Red Lion's existing brands or had a small footprint. With the brand realignment, RLHC subdivided its economy segment into three tiers – upper economy and lower economy – and promoted its existing GuestHouse brand to the upper economy segment; as a result of its acquisition of Vantage Hospitality, which transformed the company's footprint from regional to national, Red Lion Hotels Corporation moved its corporate headquarters from Spokane to Denver, Colorado, in August 2017, to be more centrally located to its franchisees, partners and two regional offices. The former headquarters office in Spokane will be maintained as a regional office along with the former headquarters of Vantage Hospitality in Coral Springs, Florida.

On August 17, 2017, RLHC announced it had sold its TicketsWest business to Paciolan, a ticketing business, owned by Learfield. On April 4, 2018, RLHC announced it had reached an agreement with Wyndham Worldwide to acquire the Knights Inn brand for $27 million; the transaction closed on May 14, 2018. Red Lion Hotels Corporation operates ten hotel brands within the following market segments: The Franchise Segment licenses the Red Lion brand to third-party hotel owners; as of 2009 there were 17 franchised Red Lion hotels. Hotel owners can franchise as either a full service Red Lion Hotel, which offer restaurant and banquet meeting space; the Las Vegas Hotel & Casino was the first hotel to join the Leo Collection in February 2013. RLHC operates a loyalty program called Hello Rewards with support provided within a mobile app provided by Monscierge. In mid-2008 Columbia Pacific Opportunity Fund, an investment manager for the Baty family, the Seattle founders of Emeritus Corporation, submitted an unsolicited acquisition offer of $9.50 per share to acquire Red Lion.

At the time, Columbia Pacific held 12.7 percent of Red Lion. By October Columbia Pacific had withdrawn its offer and, shortly thereafter, the Red Lion board of directors enacted a poison pill plan, drawing the ire of Columbia Pacific which stated its belief that Red Lion should be liquidated becaus
