First known as Tomah Army Airfield Technical School, it was activated on November 30, 1942 to conduct technical training for the United States Army Air Forces. 1000 Technical School Squadron (Special) provided technical training including radio interception techniques, radio maintenance and operations to personnel. It functioned as a sub-base of Radio school at Truax Army Airfield at Madison, itself part of Central (later Eastern) Technical Training Command. The school was inactivated on April 1, 1944. The facility was transferred to Air Technical Service Command on April 30, 1944. It was transferred as inactive to the US Army Corps of Engineers on April 1, 1946 for disposition.
