How accurate is the information on units and sites ?
Most of the information found on this site is based on official Army records. Unit locations are based on Army stationing records with modifications when obvious errors have been found [such as the mixing up of Burlington and Blue Hills sites]. Army rolls sometimes carried “phantom” units [units organized with zero strength and no equipment]. Nike battalions sometimes had one or two batteries of this type, particularly in the latter days of the Ajax era. Site locations have sometimes been more difficult to pinpoint. Topographical maps and other sources have been used. Several sites were hard to pin down. Most, such as Fort Banks and Reading, have been ironed out. Recently, the launcher site for North Kingstown was firmly located by a reader. The site of the ARNG battalion headquarters in Natick, MA, and the location of Nike radar facilities a Fort Devens, however, are still not located firmly.
