Nike Missile Site W-10, Roswell, New Mexico
View Original Description
Leftover traces of the approximately 265 Nike missile bases can still be seen around cities across the United States. As the sites were decommissioned, they were first offered to federal agencies. Many were already on Army National Guard bases who continued to use the property. Others were offered to state and local governments, while others were sold to school districts. The leftovers were offered to private individuals.
Nike Missile Site WA-10 was twelve miles east of Walker AFB. It was in operation for only about two months, being activated on 20 April, 1960 and inactivated on 25 June, 1960.
