[[File:Marshall MR SCR-296-A Tower.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Marshall MR WWII Radar Site SCR-296-A Antenna Plan.]]

Constructed completed and transferred for use at Marshall MR on 18 May 1944. Construction costs to date of transfer were $ 11,250. The physical plant consisted of a transmitter building, two powerhouses each with a 1000 gallon fuel tank, a 100' steel tower and an antenna housing disguised as a Water tank atop the tower. The three buildings and the tower were prefabricated steel units furnished by the Signal Corps. The buildings and the tower were placed on concrete pads and footings installed by the Corps of Engineers who erected all of the structures. Access to the antenna on top of the tower was by a steel ladder and a small hoist operated by an electric motor.

The radar equipment was installed by the Signal Corps. It required 16.3kW of 120/240 AC, 1 phase, 60 cycle power furnished by commercial power, backed up by the two on-site generators. The two 25 kW generators were furnished and installed by the Signal Corps.

The Radar track data was provided by telephone to support [[Battery 520]] as the primary battery and to secondary batteries including [[Battery 230]]. [[Battery 520]] was a 12" casemated gun battery located on [[Marshall Military Reservation]] while [[Battery 230]] was a 6" Gun Battery on [[Fort Moultrie]]. [[Battery 230]] was built but never armed.

== Closure ==
Closed in 1946. The SCR-296-A Radar equipment was declared obsolete by AG letter on 17 Jan 1946. The Tower and radar equipment were to be disposed of while the buildings were to be retained.

== Current Status ==
No visible remains. the property is now occupied by the Sunrise Presbyterian Church.
