Airmen from Minot and Vandenberg Air Force bases
conducted an operational test launch of an unarmed Minuteman III
missile. Today’s test launch used an intercontinental ballistic missile
pulled randomly from a silo on Minot, which was then transported and
reassembled at Vandenberg, and launched by crew members from 91st
Missile Wing. The ICBM was equipped with a test reentry vehicle, and
traveled approximately four thousand two hundred miles to a test range
near the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. ICBM test launches
verify the accuracy and reliability of the weapon system, providing
valuable data to ensure a safe, secure and effective nuclear deterrent.
