Santa Rosa Island Air Force Station Santa Rosa Island Air Force Station ( ADC ID : P - 15 ) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located southwest of the Santa Rosa Island dock , California . It was closed in 1963 . History . Santa Rosa Island AFS was one of 28 stations built as part of the second segment of the Air Defense Command permanent radar network . Prompted by the start of the Korean War , on July 11 , 1950 , the Secretary of the Air Force asked the Secretary of Defense for approval to expedite construction of the permanent network . Receiving the Defense Secretary ’ s approval on July 21 , the Air Force directed the Corps of Engineers to proceed with construction . Santa Rosa Island AFS was one of two offshore radar stations built off the Southern California coast , the other being on San Clemente Island . The 669th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was initially assigned by the 27th Air Division to Santa Rosa AFS on 11 February 1952 . The squadron initially used an AN / CPS - 6 B radar which allowed for the shutdown of the temporary Lashup sites at Camp Cooke ( L - 41 ) and Port Hueneme ( L - 42 ) , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . Later in 1952 the squadron received two AN / FPS - 10 radars at this island location . In 1955 the Air Force added an AN / FPS - 3 search radar to the facility . During the following year , an AN / GPS - 3 search radar was also added . 1958 saw the addition of an AN / MPS - 14 long - range height - finder radar . In 1958 , plans were made to relocate the 669th AC & W Sq from Santa Rosa Island to the mainland . Operations ceased on 31 March 1963 due to budget reductions , and the 669th moved to Lompoc AFS ( RP - 15 ) , where support could be provided to the site by Vandenberg AFB . Today the site of the former Santa Rosa Island Air Force Station has been obliterated , the land returned to its natural state by the National Park Service .

When Reichenau died , and command of the Sixth Army was taken over by General Friedrich Paulus , both the Severity Order and Hitler ' s Commissar Order were rescinded in his command sector .
