2452 AC&W squadron, a reserve unit from Quebec City, trained at Mont Apica until the squadron was disbanded in 1960.

Political and technological changes made the station redundant and it closed in 1990.^[1] No. 12 Radar Squadron, Mont Apica's lodger unit, was transferred to CFB Bagotville.

There was also a weather radar used by the military and later by the Meteorological Service of Canada. After the station's closure, it was transferred to the Lac Castor site of the Canadian weather radar network.
