description: This report is a follow-up to a survey and evaluation of Cold War military archaeological sites in Maneuver Areas 1 through 8 on Fort Bliss (Hawthorne-Tagg 2001). Whereas the first project focused on Fort Bliss’ maneuver areas, the current report documents the role of McGregor Range within the Army’s Military-Industrial context of the Cold War. The project objectives included (1) preparing a historical context of McGregor Range in the Cold War period and (2) locating and documenting cultural remains representative of that period.
