The 6th Air Defense Missile Squadron augmented the New York Air Defense network with a complex that housed 56 BOMAEC A missiles in what were called Model II shelters. The squadron became operational in December 1959. Rather than build Model IV shelters to accommodate the improved BOMARC B missile, the Air Force kept the squadron operational for only 5 years.

Eventually the Suffolk County Police Department assumed title to the property for a Police Academy.
