625th Radar Squadron

The 625th Radar Squadron was a United States Air Force unit activated during the early years of the Cold War to strengthen continental air defense. Established in 1948 as the 625th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, it operated radar sites tasked with detecting and tracking potential airborne threats across the southeastern United States. The unit played a pivotal role in the Air Defense Command network, providing critical early warning and control for interceptor aircraft. The squadron was inactivated in 1963 as advancements in radar technology and changes in defense strategies led to the reorganization of air defense forces.
