ALT December 4, 2012 – The site of the first anti-ballistic missile system deployed in the western world was sold in a unique opportunity to own a piece of history. The Missile Site Radar and four Remote Sprint Launch Sites from the Stanley R. Mickelsen SAFEGUARD Complex in North Dakota, a 430-acre Cold War era site that became fully operational in 1975, was sold to the Spring Creek Hutterite Colony for the extensive farmlands. The SAFEGUARD Complex’s history as an operational site was short-lived as Congress deactivated it in 1976. It was poised to reopen in the 1990s as the potential home of the new national missile defense system, as the site met the requirements of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty that restricted the U.S. and Soviet Union to a single missile defense site each. The U.S. withdrew from the treaty, however, and the Fort Greely testbed in Alaska became home to the nation’s Ground-based Midcourse Defense system.
