Ana Air National Guard Station
Established on 7 January 1956 when the
222nd Radio Relay Squadron moved from the Compton Air National
Guard Station. The squadron occupied a large building on the
grounds of the formed Santa Ana Army Air Base. The squadron
remined there until 1960 when the site was starting to be redeveloped.
The 222nd was temporarily stationed at Marine Corps Air Station
El Toro for 28 months and then returned to Costa Mesa to occupy
the newly built Air National Guard Station.
