Complex 10 was constructed along with Complex 9 in 1956 in support of the
Navaho program. Although Complex 10 never hosted a Navaho launch, exercises were
conducted there with Navahos on mobile launchers. Complex 10 was used for a
handful of launches; 6 Jason rockets and 3 Alpha Draco rockets were launched
prior to the closure of the Complex in 1959.
In the photos above, you can see
the remains of an underground cable tray that went out to Complex 10.
