Oakdale Air Force Station was established in 1959 at the Oakdale Army Installation near Pittsburgh and activated in August 1960 with the transfer of the 662d Radar Squadron from Brookfield Air Force Station, Ohio, which was closed.

As a GCI station, the squadron's role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit's radar scopes.

In addition to the main facility, Oakdale operated two unmanned AN/FPS-14 (RP-62B/G) and AN/FPS-18 (P-62A/E) Gap Filler sites The Thompson and Lewisville sites, along with the former Brookfield AFS were transferred to Oakdale when Brookfield AFS was deactivated in 1960.

Air Force operations ended with 662nd Radar Squadron (SAGE) inactivating on 31 December 1969.
