757th Radar Squadron

The 757th Radar Squadron was a United States Air Force unit established in 1950 as part of the Air Defense Command during the early Cold War era. Stationed at North Charleston Air Force Station, South Carolina, its primary mission was to provide general radar surveillance for air defense, detecting and tracking airborne threats along the southeastern U.S. coast. Over the years, the squadron operated various radar systems and contributed to the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) network from the late 1950s onward. The unit was inactivated in 1980 as advances in technology and changes in defense strategies led to the consolidation of radar assets.
