Joint Task Force Castle was established at Hill Air Base in Utah to accelerate the development of the LGM-35A Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) program. U.S. Army Brig. Gen. William Hannan Jr. assumed command of the task force, which was created by the Department of War between the United States Air Force and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This task force is tasked with supporting real estate, technical oversight, and construction across the United States, including utility corridors and launch facilities.
