  In 1963 Denmark, like other NATO countries, was offered four HAWK missile batteries from the U.S. in addition to the four NIKE missile batteries already received.
These Hawk batteries were placed in connection with the NIKE system. They were stationed in a ring around Copenhagen to protect the
capitol against air strikes from low altitude.

 In 1965 the HAWK Squadron 543 was mounted on Stevns at the Hoejerup lighthouse.
