Ent Air Force Base
The
Ent Air Force Base
was an
Air Force base
located in the
Knob Hill
neighborhood of
Colorado Springs, Colorado
. A tent city, established in 1943 to build the base, was initially commanded by Major General
Uzal Girard Ent
(1900-1948) for whom the base is named. The base was opened in 1951. From 1957 to 1963, the base was the site of
North American Aerospace Defense Command
(NORAD), which moved to the
Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station
. The base became the
Ent Annex
to the Cheyenne Mountain facility in 1975. The facility was closed in 1976 (becoming a
Formerly Used Defense Sites
). The Ent Air Force Base site later became the location of the
United States Olympic Training Center
, which was completed July 1978.
