First Minuteman III missile silo taken offline in Wyoming
One of the nation’s aging Minuteman III missile silos has officially been taken offline, marking the first visible step toward the Air Force’s massive Sentinel modernization program. The shift, beginning at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, will eventually bring new intercontinental ballistic missiles to Minot and Malmstrom as well. Leaders say the Sentinel system, though costly upfront, will be easier to sustain and vital to maintaining readiness. Officials stress the transition won’t reduce America’s nuclear alert posture during the changeover.
