The name honors a small team of Marines who created an all weather bombing system in 1949 at Point Magu, California that evolved to become the Air Support Radar Team (ASRT). The equipment was sent to the Korean War as part of the 1st MAW, 1st MTACS. The radio call sign was Devastate Charlie. We are part of the Marine Corps Aviation Association.

Radar Hill, Yuma, Arizona May 16, 2025

 

 


 

A fine Hill, in the middle of the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona.  I worked at the base of this hill in "The Bubble", a fiberglass prefab shelter that we would take into the desert on field operations. Our radar was at the top of the hill.


LCpl Piconne broke his leg coming down the hill. And later we sent a Marine Reserve radio jeep to Yuma, and they went to the top of the Hill, where they were arrested by the MP's - no one knew they were supposed to be at Yuma.
