Kagnew Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kagnew Station was an American army base in Asmara, Ethiopia (currently, Eritrea). The base was established in 1943 as an Army radio station, taking over and refurbishing a pre-existing Italian naval radio station, after Italian forces based in Asmara surrendered to the allies in 1941.
The station was home to the 4th Detachment of the Second Signal Service Battalion
US Army forces left Kagnew Station in 1973
