SCADS was established in October 1958 assuming control of former ADC Central Air Defense Force units in western Iowa, most of Nebraska along with southern South Dakota. Also provided air defense over parts of Minnesota, Colorado and Wyoming. The organization provided command and control over several aircraft and radar squadrons. The Sector was inactivated on 1 April 1966 as part of an ADC consolidation and reorganization; and its units were reassigned to the 30th Air Division.
