abstract
  • The 10th Aerospace Defense Group is an inactive United States Air Force (USAF) organization. Its last assignment was with Fourteenth Aerospace Force at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, where it was inactivated on 31 December 1970. The 10th Aerospace Defense Group and Squadron were the sole operators of the United States' second nuclear-tipped anti-satellite weapon, Weapons System 437 (WS-437). For this reason the squadron continues the group history through temporary bestowal. The United States Air Force's 10th Air Defense Squadron is also an inactive USAF organization, that preceded and followed the 10th group at Vandenberg as the 10th Aerospace Defense Squadron. Once WS-437 became non-operational in the 1970s, the squadron assumed the mission of launching Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites into orbit until its mission was transferred. It was later activated an air defense unit and was last located at Wheeler AFS, Hawaii from 1992 to 1997.
