The 937th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, activated in February 1957 operated AN/FPS-3A, and AN/FPS-6 radars. As a surveillance station, its mission was to monitor the airspace for aircraft activity and provide information 24/7 to the air defense Direction Center at Fire Island AFS near Anchorage, where it was analyzed to determine range, direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile. The Alaskan Air Command, after investigating various options, constructed a White Alice Communications System communications site at the station, operated by the Air Force Communications Service (AFCS).

Radar defense system built in Alaska to warn of incoming Soviet missles. Built in the 1950s, but decomissioned in 1963. Location was "remediated" in Operation Clean Sweep in 1998. Not much remains outside of some concrete foundations. Local land use now.
