Originally assigned to the 614th AC&W Sq. at Cherry Point MCAS, NC. After the 614th was deactivated, the GATR was assigned to the 632nd Radar Sq. at Roanoke Rapids AFS, NC, until about 1977, then it was assigned to the 701st Radar Sq. at Fort Fisher AFS, NC, until the JSS switchover or when the 701st squadron was deactivated (I don`t know which came first).
