15th MWRS

The 15th Missile Warning Radar Squadron (15th MWRS) was a United States Air Force unit responsible for operating early warning radar systems during the Cold War. Activated in the late 1960s, the squadron played a critical role in missile detection and space surveillance, contributing to national defense by monitoring potential threats from intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Stationed at various strategic locations, the 15th MWRS provided round-the-clock surveillance and relayed crucial information to command centers. The unit was eventually inactivated as technological advancements led to newer systems and reorganizations within the Air Force's missile warning mission.
