NSGA HANZA OKINAWA

Naval Security Group Activity (NSGA) Hanza, Okinawa, was a United States Navy signals intelligence (SIGINT) unit established in the early 1950s to support U.S. and allied operations in the Western Pacific. Located near Camp Hansen on Okinawa, NSGA Hanza played a critical role in collecting and analyzing communications intelligence during the Cold War, Vietnam War, and throughout the late 20th century. The unit’s mission included monitoring adversary communications, supporting fleet operations, and providing timely intelligence to U.S. commanders in the region. NSGA Hanza was decommissioned in the early 2000s as part of the Navy’s consolidation of intelligence activities, with its functions absorbed by other units and joint-service organizations.
