Oliktok Long Range Radar Site, DEW station POW-2 or NWS station A-19, is a United States Air Force radar site located 164 miles (264 km) east-southeast of Point Barrow, Alaska.
The associated military airstrip is known as (ICAO: POLI, TC LID: XWS) and is not open for public use.
In 1998 Pacific Air Forces initiated "Operation Clean Sweep", in which abandoned Cold War stations in Alaska were remediated and the land restored to its previous state.
The site remains active and is staffed by civilian contractors for periodic maintenance, and accessed by road from Deadhorse.
