Notes
SM-160     862 Poston AFS, AZ planned: TPS-1D; TPS-10       Originally constructed for the Colorado War Relocation Camp to house Japanese during WWII. However, apparently was never activated as an AC&W radar station. Instead, gap-filler radar site M-128D / SM-162I was built here.

Current Use: The original buildings are unoccupied and in an extremely poor state of repair. The west side of the station is populated by house trailers which are occupied. The gap-filler annex is extant, but appears to be vacant.

NOTICE:
Some photos and documents may be marked with varying degrees of classification, up to SECRET. Data so marked is the way it was delivered from official USAF sources, and have been completely declassified. To the best of our knowledge, no currently classified data is stored on this site.
