670th Radar Squadron

The 670th Radar Squadron was a United States Air Force unit activated in 1948 as part of the nation’s early air defense network. Initially stationed at Camp Cooke, California, the squadron was tasked with operating radar equipment to detect and track potential aerial threats during the early Cold War period. Over the years, the unit relocated to San Pedro Hill Air Force Station, California, and contributed to the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) system, enhancing North America's air defense capabilities. The 670th Radar Squadron was inactivated in 1976 as advancements in technology and strategic changes led to the reorganization of continental air defense forces.
