It was operated by Air Defense Command on the site of the World War II air base. Opened in 1957, it was closed in 1963. The facility was finally closed in 1991 when the United States Air Force ended its use of the airfield, having designated the field as Laughlin Air Force Auxiliary Landing Field #1 in 1962, using it as part of the pilot training school at Laughlin AFB.
