description: In 1997, the Air Force, in consultation with the Alaska State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), determined that the Air Force's Forward Operating Base (FOB) mission in Alaska was exceptionally important in the context of bomber warning and defense during the Cold War period (1948- 1989). The Air Force established historic districts encompassing a number of properties at each of the two primary Alaskan FOB installations, Galena and King Salmon Airports. The Alaska SHPO assigned the districts Alaska Historic Record Survey (AHRS) numbers: NUL-001 26 for Galena Airport and NAK-00067 for King Salmon Airport. This historical monograph was created by Argonne National Laboratory and was submitted in partial fulfillment of the written documentation stipulation of the 1998 Memorandum of Agreement among the Air Force, Alaska State Historic Preservation Office, and Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.
