The Massachusetts Air National Guard 101st Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Otis Base near Cape Cod will become the main defense for the northeastern approaches as active air defense is cut back. The unit, with 14 F 106 interceptors, maintains high readiness on alert and operates at a fraction of active duty cost, shaping a broader shift of air defense to reserve forces.
