Hoeven urges Sentinel program be done concurrently at ICBM bases
Minot Air Force Base is at the heart of a major modernization effort, and North Dakota leaders want to keep the upgrades moving swiftly. Sen. John Hoeven is pushing for simultaneous improvements at all three ICBM bases—Minot, F.E. Warren, and Malmstrom—arguing that concurrent construction will save time and money as the aging Minuteman III missiles are replaced with the new Sentinel system.
With Minot’s unique role in the nuclear triad, Hoeven also pressed for funding to upgrade facilities for the next-generation Long-Range Standoff cruise missile. The stakes are high, and North Dakota’s defense leaders want no delays. Eloise Ogden with The Minot Daily News has the full story getting Minot closer to the starting line on this vital project
