description: HAFB played an important role as a development and testing facility for missile and rocket research during the early Cold War. The identification and documentation of many of the buildings and structures used during this time period has provided valuable insight on a variety of Cold War construction techniques, as well as initiating steps to document, protect, and preserve this legacy of the USAF. This is extremely important since of the original early Cold War-era facilities that still exist, few retain historic integrity. The final project report can also be used to promote this demonstration project so that the forms and field methods can be used successfully on other DoD installations. The results of this architectural assessment, as well as the other projects conducted on HAFB, are useful far beyond the boundaries of this base. It is hoped that these projects will encourage other bases to begin the process of documenting and reporting on the many unique architectural and archaeological resources located on DoD installations, thus providing a better understanding of the USAF during these important periods of United States history.

This report is the third in the HAFB Cultural Resources Publication series, which was created to showcase the wide variety of projects made possible by the LRMP on HAFB. The publication series will ensure quality reporting of LRMP and other types of research projects conducted on HAFB, and will allow the data to be distributed to local professionals and other DoD cultural resource managers. The publications have also begun to illustrate the results of the initial goal set forth in 1992 of compiling a comprehensive base history. The first report, / Never Left A Place That 1 Didn’t Clean Up, covered the pre-military historic use of HAFB-administered lands from the early European settlement of the area up until the base was established (Hawthorne 1994). The second in the report series, “We Develop Missiles, Not Air!” illustrates HAFB’s role as an early missile, rocket, instrumentation, and aeromedical research development facility in the early Cold War (Mattson and Tagg 1995).
