The United States Army created its first school for training Soldiers specifically in AntiAircraft tactics and weaponry, the Antiaircraft Training Center, in 1940 at Fort Bliss, Texas. Six years later, the War Department set up the Army Air Defense Center, an umbrella organization that included the Army’s Air Defense School, Guided Missile Brigade, Army Training Center Antiaircraft Artillery, Army Air Defense Board, Antiaircraft Artillery Group, and the Offices of Special Weapons Development.
