The Chicago Air Defense Sector (CADS) is an inactive Air Defense Command (ADC) 30th Air Division at Truax Field Wisconsin. It was inactivated on 1 April 1966.
CADS was established by redesignation of the never active 4628th Air Defense Wing at Truax Field, Wisconsin in March 1957[1] with a mission to provide radar squadrons.
On 1 October 1959, the new Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) Direction Center (DC-07) and a Combat Center (CC-02) became operational. DC-07 was equipped with dual AN/FSQ-7 Computers. The day-to-day operations of the command were to train and maintain tactical flying units flying jet interceptor aircraft (F-102 Delta Dagger, F-106 Delta Dart) and radar squadrons in a state of readiness with training missions and series of exercises with Strategic Air Command and other units simulating interceptions of incoming enemy aircraft.
The Sector was inactivated 1 April 1966[1] as part of ADC reorganization and consolidation, the command being replaced at Truax Field by the 20th Air Division,[3] and its units in Indiana were reassigned to the 34th Air Division.
