During WWII, Fort Bliss in Texas saw the start of the installation’s Antiaircraft Artillery (AAA) training role. After WWII troop demobilization, Fort Bliss began supporting the Army’s first guided missile development efforts with the Replacement Training Center Battalion (RTC BN). During the early Cold War years, the Antiaircraft Artillery and Guided Missile Center and School, the 1st Antiaircraft and Guided Missile Brigade, and Army Ground Forces Board No. 4 (later the U.S. Army Air Defense Board) transformed Fort Bliss into the Army’s premier AAA and guided missile center. When guided missiles such as Nike, Corporal, and Hawk became operational, the School and the Brigade began training the men that fielded these systems. As air defense technology advanced, new air defense systems and anti-missile systems such as Safeguard and Patriot became part of the training activities at Fort Bliss.
