Recruiters Seek Men
To Man Omaha, Lincoln
Nike Missile Bases
US Army Recruiters in this area
have been granted authority by the
Department of the Army to en
list a special 70-man group of new
enlistees from this area to train
as a group for assignment with the
units which will man the N1KE
HERCULES missile sites in the
Omaha and Lincoln vicinities.
There will be four missile sites
in the Omaha and Lincoln areas.
These sites are part of the ever
growing North American Air De
fense Command that is charged
with the responsibility of protect
ing the North American Continent
from air attack. NIKE units have
been guarding the principal cities
and strategic areas of the United
States against unwanted air "tour
ists” since 1953.
The 70-man group will be enlist
ed in special ceremonies in Om
aha on June 10th. They will take
basic training together and be sent
from basic training to either the
Omaha or Lincoln sites for specia
lized or on-the-job training in guid
ed missile and electronics.
According to Master Sergeant
William Cousins, Commander of
the O’Neill Recruiting Station, this
enlistment plan is one of the most
desirous assignments offered a
group of Iowa-Nebraska men in
recent years. “Not only will the
men be able to carry their home
town friendships into service and
receive training in a skilled and
technical field, they will be able to
enjoy the benefits of being station
ed near their homes.”
