The 739th Radar Squadron was a United States Air Force unit activated in 1950 during the early years of the Cold War. Stationed at Wadena Air Force Station, Minnesota, its primary mission was to provide general radar surveillance for air defense as part of the Air Defense Command. The squadron operated various radar systems to detect and track potential air threats over the northern United States. It remained active until 1970, when advances in technology and changes in defense strategy led to its inactivation.
