The objective of this report is to provide a personal history, documenting what it was like for young servicemen to live and work at Alaska’s Nike batteries where the weather, isolation, and pressures of being on the front lines of the Cold War culminated in a unique and unforgettable experience. Limited archival information was available in the state, and further research may add more to the Alaskan Nike Hercules story.
