Air Force Global Strike Command officials assume ICBM mission
December 1st, 2009
The ICBM transfer is part of a phased approach to unify all Air Force nuclear-capable assets under one command, officials said.
The new command gains three missile wings with the assumption of the 20th Air Force mission: one each from F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo.; Malmstrom AFB, Mont.; and Minot AFB, N.D. Command officials also assume responsibility for all of the United States' 450 ICBMs.
