Closed in 1993, this Air Force Base had a history dating back to World War I. During the Cold War, Air Training Command (ATC) operated the base, which provided technical training support for several missile programs. Some milestones include:

• completion of maintenance training facilities for Thor IRBMs on November 26,

• acceptance of the BOMARC surface-to-air missile erector in November 1960 for

training use.

• becoming ATC's primary weapons technical training center in the 1960s and 1970s for such systems as air-launched Hound Dog and Short-Range Attack Missiles.

• serving as the Minuteman and Peacekeeper training facility.
