Kagnew StationEast Africa (U.S. Army) Frosted Pint Glass 16oz

Kagnew Station, also known as Kagnew Communications Complex, was a significant U.S. Army communications facility located in Asmara, Eritrea, East Africa. Operational between 1951 and 1977, the station served as a key hub for intercepting, analyzing, and relaying Soviet and other foreign communications during the Cold War era. The station was staffed by both U.S. military personnel and local Eritrean workers. Its strategic location provided valuable insights into global military and political developments. Following its closure, Kagnew Station was dismantled, with some of its equipment being relocated to other facilities. Today, the site stands as a historical reminder of Cold War-era surveillance activities.
