The Sandia/Manzano base areas have always been a vital portion of Kirtland Air Force Base which was established in 1947, the very same year that C.I.A. (successor to O.S.S.) was established. It was also the very same year that N.S.A. (National Security Agency) was established. And perhaps, unrelated, the very same year of the so-called Roswell incident. Kirtland Air Force Base, until 1947, was known as Kirtland Army Air Field. But, in 1947 everything changed, with the creation of the Air Force.
The above-mentioned Manzano base consisted of underground nuclear weapons storage area (dug under the Manzano hill). It also was an underground storage area for other sensitive materials.
It was closed in 1992 and the facility moved to another area of Kirtland Air Force Base.
Today, Kirtland Air Force Base is also home of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Directed Energy Directorate, focusing on the continuation and improvement of its Project Starfire (which was started in 1979), a laser-based optical satellite tracking systems and other related projects.

The Air Force Research Laboratory is presently also involved with research and development of ground-based (as well as airborne) directed energy weapons systems.
A few years ago, I interviewed a colleague of mine Jim Brockway who has an extensive knowledge of this whole complex:
