[edit] Multi-Function Station

MVAFS was a multi-function station: a SAGE long range radar site operated by the 666th Radar Squadron (host squadron)^[1]; an AN/FSS-7 SLBM detection radar site operated by Detachment 3 14th Missile Warning Squadron^[1]; a Nike missile air defense control site (San Francisco Defense Area Site SF-90DC^[1]^[2]^[3]) operated by the Army Air Defense Command Post for the 40th Artillery Brigade from 1959 until June 1971 and the 13th Air Defense Artillery Group from July 1971 to August 1974^[1]; a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Joint Surveillance System (JSS) Facility J-33^[2]^[4] . I served at MVAFS from 1972 to 1974 and personally witnessed these functions. More to follow later. Conrad T. Pino 08:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
