McGuire AFB is adjacent to Fort Dix, near Wrightstown. The former SAGE blockhouse is east of the flight line. The GATR site is off base, to the east.


Home of the first AN/FSQ-7 SAGE computer at SAGE Direction Center No. 1 (DC-1). The blockhouse is now HQ 21st Air Force (Air Mobility Command). [Looking roughly northeast]

From the web site http://www.hanscom.af.mil/ESC-BP/pollprev/eaweb/McGuire/Draft_EA_McGuire.htm At one time, this was the GATR site for Gibbsboro AFS, NJ (Z-63).

Reportedly, the site still functions as a GATR facility for NEADS (as do the GATR facilities at McChord AFB for WADS, and at Tyndall AFB for SEADS).
