671st Radar Squadron

The 671st Radar Squadron was a United States Air Force unit activated in 1962 as part of the Air Defense Command. Stationed at Naval Air Station Key West, Florida, its primary mission was to operate radar systems for airspace surveillance and provide early warning of potential airborne threats during the Cold War. The squadron played a crucial role in monitoring the southern approaches to the United States, particularly during periods of heightened tension with Cuba. The unit was inactivated in 1980 as advances in technology and changes in strategic priorities led to the reorganization of air defense forces.
