Malmstrom Air Force Base

Malmstrom AFB is one of three Air Force bases in the country that can manage the Minuteman III intercontinental missiles. It’s located in the middle of Montana in Cascade Country and hosts the 341st Missile Wing. The 341st has several groups stationed here, including operations, security forces, maintenance and medical groups. All of these groups have important duties, but some of them are constantly monitoring the need for a combat strike that would involve one or more of the 15 missile alert facilities. This missile wing is in charge of launching the Minuteman Missiles if they are ordered to do so. Malmstrom houses 150 Minuteman III ICBM’s, 50 each among the 10th, 12th and 490th squadrons. Because the Minuteman III missiles are almost 50 years old, periodic launch tests of unarmed missiles are performed to ensure reliability. Each launch test takes approximately six to twelve months to plan. The Unites States is currently working on an updated program to replace the Minuteman III – it’s called the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent program. That program is not scheduled to be active until sometime in the mid-2030’s. Until then, the 341st will continue to monitor and test the Minuteman III ICBM’s as an assurance to our partners and a deterrent to potential aggressors.
