Pretty sure it's just a defined area for AWACS/JSTARS  flight 
operations.  There are several
more areas throughout the US & maybe a couple 
off-shore.  Specifically, there is Polk 1 Orbit
& Polk 2 Orbit near Fort Polk, a Hood 1 Orbit & Hood 2 Orbit near 
Fort Hood & a couple of
others, Castor Orbit & JSTARS Orbit, but I don't recall their 
locations right now.
