Cincinnati-Dayton Defense Area
Site designations and locations of Nike Hercules sites in southern Ohio are: (CD-27) southeast of Wilmington, (CD-46) Felicity, and (CD-78) northwest of Oxford.
The Corps of Engineers Huntington District had responsibility for construction of these sites. Along with a site in Dillsboro, Indiana, these Nike Hercules sites became operational in 1960 to defend the industrial centers of the upper Ohio River Valley. A "BIRDIE" site collocated at C-27 hosted missile command and control functions for the region. The sites remained active until 1970-1971.
