  • 91St MISSILE WING

    91St MISSILE WING

    91st MISSILE WING MISSION The mission of the 91st SW is to defend the United States with safe, secure intercontinental ballistic missiles, ready to immediately put bombs on target. The on-alert missiles assigned to the 91st SW are under the operational control of the nation’s strategic war-fighting command, U.S. Strategic Command, headquartered at Offutt AFB Neb. The wing controls 150 Minuteman III missiles, located over an 8,500 square mile area in north central North Dakota , approximately the same size as the state of Massachusetts. Each missile is located in an unmanned remote site called a launch facility. All LFs are located at lease three nautical miles apart and situated in unpopulated areas. The missiles are housed in hardened underground silos. Each launch facility has all the equipment needed to maintain the missile in a ready-to-launch condition. All activities at the LFs are monitored and controlled from remote, manned launch control centers. Located in each launch control center, missile combat crews comprised of two officers operate in 24-hour alert tours. During the tour, the crew controls the 10 missiles assigned to their flight, and has the capability to monitor and control an entire squadron of 50 missiles. Launch control centers are interconnected by hardened, buried, wire, cable communications links used by the combat crews for status reporting, coordination of missile programming and launch actions. Thus, each crew can launch any missile in its squadron, not just the missiles in its flight. Each launch control center is part of a missile alert facility. The wing’s 15 missile alert facilities are comprised of a topside facility, which is continually manned by a minimum of eight people, and an underground complex consisting of a launch control center and an underground support building.

Within minutes of taking off, US airmen could have their RF-80s (right) over MiG Alley (opposite), as the skies over the area between the Yalu and Chongchon Rivers in northwest Korea were known. There the air was thick with MiG-15s piloted by North Korean, Chinese, and (it is now known) Russian pilots. Below is a C-119 Flying Boxcar at Chinhae AB, South Korea EARLY half a century ago, from June 25, 1950, through July 27, 1953, the newly independent Air Force, in conjunction with other US services and various allies operating under the United Nations banner, halted aggression by North Korea and its Chinese allies. Data charted in this section are drawn from the comprehensive US Air Force Statistical Digest, Fiscal Year 1953: Summary of USAF Combat Operations in Korea, June 1950—July 1953, published in 1954, and the authorized USAF history, The United States Air Force in Korea, 1950-1953, published in 1983 by the Office of Air Force History.
