Disambiguation: PAROC is the command center for the Perimeter Acquisition Radar at Nekoma, North Dakota. Not to be confused with the newer Persistent Attack and Reconnaissance Operations Center (activated 2017 at Creech AFB).

PAROC (Perimeter Acquisition Radar Operations Center) is the tactical command and control center for the Perimeter Acquisition Radar (PAR) system at the Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex in Nekoma, North Dakota. Established as part of the U.S. Army's Safeguard anti-ballistic missile program, PAROC achieved initial operating capability on April 1, 1975, and full operational capability on October 1, 1975. The facility operated a long-range phased array radar facing north to provide surveillance over the polar region and detect/track multiple targets for missile defense purposes. The complex was deactivated as an ABM site in 1976 but was reactivated by the U.S. Air Force in 1977 for early warning operations, currently operating as the Missile Warning Operations Center under the 10th Space Warning Squadron at Cavalier Air Force Station, functioning as PARCS (Perimeter Acquisition Radar Characterization System) for space surveillance and ICBM detection.

PAROC (Centro de Operações do Radar de Aquisição de Perímetro) é o centro de comando e controle tático para o sistema de Radar de Aquisição de Perímetro (PAR) no Complexo Safeguard Stanley R. Mickelsen em Nekoma, Dakota do Norte. Estabelecido como parte do programa de mísseis anti-balísticos Safeguard do Exército dos EUA, o PAROC alcançou capacidade operacional inicial em 1º de abril de 1975 e capacidade operacional plena em 1º de outubro de 1975. A instalação operava um radar de matriz em fase de longo alcance voltado para o norte para fornecer vigilância sobre a região polar e detectar/rastrear múltiplos alvos para fins de defesa de mísseis. O complexo foi desativado como site de ABM em 1976, mas foi reativado pela Força Aérea dos EUA em 1977 para operações de aviso antecipado, operando atualmente como Centro de Operações de Aviso de Mísseis sob o Esquadrão de Alerta Espacial 10º em Cavalier Air Force Station, funcionando como PARCS (Sistema de Caracterização do Radar de Aquisição de Perímetro) para vigilância espacial e detecção de ICBM.
