4750th Air Defense Squadron

The 4750th Air Defense Squadron was a unit of the United States Air Force, activated in the early 1950s during the height of the Cold War. It was initially organized to provide air defense training and operational support, particularly focused on interceptor aircraft and missile operations. The squadron was stationed at Vincent Air Force Base in Arizona, where it played a crucial role in live-fire exercises and weapons evaluation for the Air Defense Command. Over time, the 4750th contributed significantly to enhancing the capabilities and readiness of North America’s air defense forces before its inactivation in the early 1960s.
