Oklahoma City Air Materiel Area/Logistics Center

During the 1950s, this Air Materiel Command facility was responsible for program management of several missile systems. For example, Oklahoma City oversaw support of the BOMARC surface-to-air system. This responsibility changed with an Air Materiel Command realignment initiated on June 4, 1957, whereby BOMARC left Oklahoma City for Ogden, Utah. In return, the Oklahoma City Air Materiel Area (OCAMA) picked up responsibility for guided air-launched missiles such as the GAM-63 Rascal and GAM-72 Green Quail. In 1961, OCAMA became the logistics manager for the GAM-77 "Hound Dog" air-launched missile.

Responsibility for long-range air-launched munitions would continue. For example, in October 1974, the Oklahoma City "Air Logistics Center" became the systems manager for the Air-Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM). By the 1980s this Air Force Logistics Command facility managed support for the Short Range Air Missile (SRAM) SRAM II, ALCM, Ground-Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM) and Harpoon missiles.
