674th Radar Squadron

The 674th Radar Squadron was an Air Force unit activated in 1950 during the early years of the Cold War. Assigned to the Air Defense Command, the squadron operated radar sites as part of the United States' continental air defense network, tasked with detecting and tracking potential aerial threats. Stationed at Osceola Air Force Station, Wisconsin, the 674th played a key role in the Ground-Control Intercept (GCI) mission, providing critical data to guide interceptor aircraft. The unit was inactivated in 1968 as advances in technology and changes in defense priorities led to the reorganization of air defense forces.
