Tactical Missile Squadron, absorbing the personnel of the 588th TMG en-masse. In preparation for a new streamlined organization, both Tactical Missile Groups at Orlando AFB were inactivated within a few weeks of each other in mid-1958. The newly renamed Wing consisted of a Headquarters section, a Student Squadron, a Training Squadron and a Support Squadron. In addition the wing operated two geographically separated detachments, Detachment 1 at Holloman AFB, New Mexico for TM-76 Mace, and Detachment 2 at Cape Canaveral Auxiliary AFS, Florida (also known at "Camp Happiness") for TM-61C Matador (later TM-76 Mace) live firing of tactical missiles on the White Sands Missile Range or Eastern Missile Test Range. Col Slayden established "Camp Happiness" as described in his memoirs: "The proficiency of the last squadron produced out of the school before I took command was not impressive--with a launch record of 13% on target. With a dramatic need to improve performance, I developed classroom and shop training at Orlando and launching activities at Cape Canaveral, in the latter instituting Camp Happiness. Launchings went from family vacations on Cocoa Beach (after nine-to-five workdays) paid in part by government per diem, to 24-hour days of military field exercises. A camp street near the launch site was bulldozed out of the scrub palmetto with tents, a latrine, and an icebox. It did not take long for the missile-on-target records of training squadrons to jump to 85%." The school was affected by budget reductions in the early 1960s with the detachments inactivated and the organization reduced to one student squadron. By 1962, the school had graduated over 3,500 personnel The Tactical Missile School was closed on 25 March 1967 with the phaseout of the MGM-13 Mace missile out of the USAF innovatory, and the wing was inactivated. Instructors and all equipment was moved to Lowry AFB, Colorado, where Air Training Command was consolidating all USAF missile training.
