The 2nd Missile Battalion was activated during the height of the Cold War, tasked with providing ground-based missile defense for key strategic locations. Equipped initially with surface-to-air missile systems, the unit played a crucial role in national airspace security throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The battalion participated in several high-profile exercises and readiness drills, demonstrating rapid deployment and precision targeting capabilities. Over time, as missile technology advanced, the 2nd Missile Battalion adapted to new systems before its eventual deactivation in the late 20th century.
