The 848th ADS was originally the 848th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron which provided logistics and administrative support to other radar detachments under its chain of command.Wallace Air Station and the squadron were inactivated in 1991 following the closing or transfer of all United States Department of Defense facilities in the Philippines.This facility and the associated 1st Test Squadron "COMBAT SAGE" program provided Pacific Air Forces pilots with live-fire training.Hence, HH-3E helicopters manned by Air Force Parajumpers from the 31st Aerospace Rescue & Recovery Squadron based at nearby Clark Air Base and a drone recovery boat (1604) with its home port in the local harbor at nearby San Fernando were always on hand to recover the drones.During each launch, numerous "banca boats" (outrigger bamboo canoes), were close by and always in the chase to recover the JATO bottle dropped by a drone after takeoff.
