The missile site and squadron were activated on 1 June 1960, and missiles were operational on 1 December 1961. In January 1962 the RF-62E gap filler radar site at Brookfield Air Force Station in Ohio became a "major off-base…installation" of the Niagara Falls site, transferred from Wright-Patterson AFB .

The site was an AN/FSG-l Missile-Master Radar Direction Center. In a fund-saving consolidation, the Air Force moved the 772d Radar Squadron (SAGE) from Claysburg Air Force Station , Pennsylvania, to this Army long-range radar site, and inactivated the P-9A gap-filler radar.
