Döbraberg 606th AC&W

On 16 December 1963, the 606th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was activated and assigned to the 86th Air Division (Defense) during January 1964. In January 1964 the 606th absorbed the men and equipment of Detachment 2, 602nd AC&WS. The squadron operated an AN/FPS-67C Search radar, a FPS-6C Height-finder, a FPS-90 Height-finder and 412-L Data Processing equipment. From January 1964 to 1 Jul 1974, the squadron had primary responsibility as a reporting post to identify and track all aircraft approaching the East German—West German and Czechoslovakian—West German borders and forward information concerning these tracks to the control center (CRC). The secondary responsibility included functioning as a back—up unit for corridor control for the southern air corridor into West Berlin. At some point, the call sign was 'Rust Crowd'. In July 1974, the Air Force handed the site over to the Bundeswehr. Tnx CAR and www.usarmygermany.com
