Ground Observer Corps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Ground Observation Corps.
The Ground Observer Corps was a World War II Civil Defense program of the United States Army Air Forces to protect against air attack. The 1.5 million civilian observers at 14,000 coastal observation posts used naked eye and binocular searches to search for German and Japanese aircraft until the program ended in 1944.[1]
