Air Force to Dedicate New BE Test Facility The dedication of a new $7.5 million air munitions and rocket test' site on the west shores of Great Salt Lake will be held July 31, Sen. Wallace F. Ben. nett (R.Utah) has reported. The facility near Lakeside In Box Elder county, was con. structed for the government by a civilian contractor and after the dedication It will be owned and operated by Hill Air Force base. The new munitions range will be used In connection with the Mlnuteman and other missile missions assigned to Hill Air Force base, Senator Bennett said. Construction which began In the spring of 1963, consisted of two rocket motor static firing pad, control stands, a cook-of- f house, nine environmentally controlled storage buildings, a temperature con. dltlonlng oven, a radlolgraphlc inspection building, an airmans dormitory, a support building and associated roads and pre.firlng utilities. The facility is located some 50 miles west of Hill Air Force base on the western shores of Great Salt Lake. The remote location is necessary because of the nature of the tests which will be conducted and the always present danger which exists In the handling of explosive ele. ments, the Air Force reported. The mission of the facility will be to test Mlnuteman mis. slles on a static basis. That Is, none of the missiles will be launched and all of the tests will be conducted with the missiles fixed to a test stand.
