Voice of the
Green Beret
MARS Station AB8AW was first housed in a building
formerly used as a wash house behind the Communications Center. The
station was moved from its location in the antenna field to a building
between the Communications Center and Maintenance Shop. It was a
sturdy concrete building, much roomier than the old wash house.
(This building had been a latrine in a prior life.)
The Special Forces Detachment (Project Omega) B-50's
Orderly Room and Supply Room building shared space with AB8AW for its next
location. The building burned to the ground late one night.
Does anyone remember where the station was located next?
