Alright, so I recently picked up Hearts of Iron 2. I've started a campaign as the United States in 1936. Right now, it's November 1943. I have a large Pacific Fleet with six carriers and around twelve battleships, I have 30+ divisions of infantry, motorized infantry, and tanks based in Hawaii under the command of MacArthur and Patton, a large enough transport fleet to move them all, and enough air power to provide protection and offensive force.

I've been at war with Japan since November 1941, but I'm at peace with Germany and Italy. I've spent most of that time since then finishing up my buildup of forces, defending Midway and Hawaii, and transferring forces into the theatre.

The problem I've run into is any time I try to move my transports or any warships to hit Wake island (fell to the Japanese), I get an error message saying that my units are out of range. Wake is below 2,500 km from Hawaii, and my lowest ranged unit has an operational range of 2,800 kilometers.

To make things even weirder, I have no problem transporting forces to Mili in Micronesia, but every other island in that chain is also "out of range."

My forces are all adequately supplied, so I don't think that's the problem. Any help?

I'm not sure about that specific case, but try island hopping nearer if you can - thats pretty much needed in a pacific campaign. Also, check if maybe you forgot some old destroyers in the escort screen that are killing your range.

Rebase closer if you can.

Pacific island hopping is annoying though, there are several islands you can get onto but seemingly not off of without waiting until a naval base builds (unless I missed something).
