MATERIAL SUPPORT COMMAND VINT HILL FARMS STATION

The Material Support Command at Vint Hill Farms Station played a critical role in United States Army intelligence operations during the mid-20th century. Located in Fauquier County, Virginia, Vint Hill Farms Station began as a clandestine signals intelligence (SIGINT) and cryptographic facility during World War II, supporting the interception and analysis of enemy communications. As the Cold War progressed, the Material Support Command was established to provide vital logistical, technical, and maintenance support for sophisticated communications and intelligence equipment used by the Army Security Agency and other intelligence entities. The facility remained an important hub for intelligence support until its closure in 1997, after which its missions were redistributed to other facilities.
