=== Operational History===
Beginning in November 1948, the division performed air defense over an area that covered much of the industrial northeast, including [[New York City]], [[Philadelphia]], and [[Washington, D.C.]]. It employed off shore naval picket ships, fixed "[[Texas Towers|Texas Tower]]" radar sites, airborne early warning units, and a civilian ground observer corps program. The latter phased down when the [[Semi Automatic Ground Environment|SAGE]] program was implemented.

Improved radar and communications equipment and fighter interceptors, and better techniques and methods, eventually led to the 26th Air Division becoming the first operational SAGE air defense system ([[1 January]] [[1959]]) within Air Defense Command.

The 26th's area of control expanded until by 1963 its boundaries extended from the [[Arctic]] to the [[Gulf of Mexico]] and well toward the center of the United States. In 1961 the division assumed air defense training responsibility for Air National Guard (ANG) units within the area.

During the [[Cuban Missile Crisis]] of 1962, the division deployed fighter aircraft and part of its airborne early warning and control force to [[Florida]]. In April 1966, the division, replaced by the [[First Air Force]], moved without personnel or equipment to Adair Air Force Station, [[Oregon]], where it assumed responsibility for the defense of Oregon, part of [[California]] and [[Nevada]], gradually phasing down until it replaced the [[27th Air Division]] at [[Luke Air Force Base]], [[Arizona]] in November 1969.

In October 1979, it transferred to Tactical Air Command and continued to supervise its assigned components until [[1 July]] [[1987]].

Operational History

Beginning in November 1948, the division performed air defense over an area that covered much of the industrial northeast, including New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.. It employed off shore naval picket ships, fixed "Texas Tower" radar sites, airborne early warning units, and a civilian ground observer corps program. The latter phased down when the SAGE program was implemented.

Improved radar and communications equipment and fighter interceptors, and better techniques and methods, eventually led to the 26th Air Division becoming the first operational SAGE air defense system (1 January 1959) within Air Defense Command.

The 26th's area of control expanded until by 1963 its boundaries extended from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico and well toward the center of the United States. In 1961 the division assumed air defense training responsibility for Air National Guard (ANG) units within the area.
