Major WWII History
The Foreign Affairs Training Center in Alcova Heights was once known as Arlington Hall back in the 1940's. This site was vital in the U.S. effort to exploit the enemy's communications. Here, 10,000 members of the Army's signals intelligence effort accomplished one of the great intelligence triumphs of World War II: the successful decipherment of the Japanese Army's cryptosystems.
