USASTRATCOM Ft.Hauchuca, AZ

The United States Army Strategic Communications Command (USASTRATCOM) was established in 1964 to consolidate and manage the Army’s global communications systems during the Cold War. Fort Huachuca, Arizona, served as a key site for USASTRATCOM due to its strategic location and advanced communications facilities. At Fort Huachuca, USASTRATCOM managed critical functions including satellite communications, electronic warfare, and secure information transmission, supporting both continental and overseas operations. In 1973, USASTRATCOM’s missions were absorbed by the newly formed U.S. Army Communications Command (USACC), but Fort Huachuca has remained a center for Army communications and intelligence activities ever since.
