It consisted of two launch rails, from which XSM-73 Bull Goose and MGM-13 Mace missiles were tested.

Construction of LC-22 started in 1956, leading to acceptance into military service on 26 February 1957, with Launch Complex 21.

Following the end of Bull Goose test flights, Complex 22 was renovated for the Mace missile.

After the last launch, the complex was retained as a backup site until the 1970s, in case a future missile needed to use it.

As of 2009, the blockhouse, and many of the support structures erected at the pad, were still standing.
