About This Item

In 1966 the German Air Force Air Defense Center (GAFADC) was moved from Aachen, Germany to Fort Bliss, TX. However, German Soldiers have been schooled at the US Anti Aircraft Artillery and Guided Missile School in Fort Bliss as early as 1956.

February 1958 was the beginning of NIKE-Training and three years later training on the HAWK-System started as well. The biggest change in the GAFADC history and training came in the mid 1980’s because of the end of NIKE-System and the beginning of the modern PATRIOT System.

1966 wurde die Schule (ehemalige Raketenschule der Luftwaffe) von Aachen an den heutigen Standort in die USA verlegt. Deutsche Soldaten wurden aber schon seit 1956 bei der US Anti-Aircraft Artillery and Guided Missile School in Fort Bliss ausgebildet.

Im Februar 1958 lief die Nike-Ausbildung an, drei Jahre später wurde mit der Ausbildung am Waffensystem HAWK begonnen. Die tiefgreifendste Veränderung ergab sich aus der Umrüstung vom Waffensystem Nike auf das hochmoderne Waffensystem Patriot Mitte der 80er Jahre.
