On 1 October 1992, the Misawa Cryptologic Operations Center was formed from the four service components already assigned to Security Hill. Col Mike McFarland served as the first MCOC director. One year later, the 6920th Electronic Security Group was redesignated the 301st Intelligence Squadron, under the command of Col Arthur Saitta. You can see the guidon of the 301 IS, which was officially retired when the 692d Intelligence Group was redesignated the 692d Intelligence Operations Group.
