	LGM-30 Minuteman III ICBM - United States Nuclear Forces
		By the time the last Minuteman IIs of the 564th SMS were placed on strategic alert in the spring of 1967, significant progress had been made on the development of an even more advanced ICBM.
		The Minuteman III, using modernized Minuteman I and Minuteman II ground facilities, provided reentry vehicle and penetration aids deployment flexibility, increased payload, and improved survivability in a nuclear environment.
		Final Minuteman missile pulls out of Grand Forks, June 9, 1998 -- Missile handling personnel from the 321st Missile Group pulled the last Minuteman missile of 150 that were assigned.

	LGM-30A/B Minuteman I - United States Nuclear Forces
		Minuteman is a three-stage, solid-propellant, rocket-powered ICBM with a range of approximately 5,500 nautical miles.
		Minuteman also possessed an all-inertial guidance system and the capability of being fired from hardened and widely-dispersed underground-silo launchers.
		The Minuteman I was deactivated in 1972 when the Air Force began its modernization process to the Minuteman III.

	The Ace in the Hole : Edwards Air Force Base
		The Minuteman was destined to become the Free World's "ace in the hole," a cheap and reliable ICBM that could be built in large numbers and stored in protective shelters, its solid propellant ready to be launched at a moment's notice.
		The test team constructed a second full-scale Minuteman silo alongside the first, and various propellant tests continued on the static test stands.
		As time for the first flight test approached, plans were discussed to launch from one of the silos on Leuhman Ridge and fly downrange into the Pacific Ocean.

	Encyclopedia: Peacekeeper missile
		The operational missile was manufactured from February 1984 and first deployed in December 1986 to the 90th Strategic Missile Wing at F.E. Warren AFB in Wyoming to retro-fitted Minuteman silos.
		The Peacekeeper is a MIRVed missile: each rocket could carry up to 10 re-entry vehicles, each with a nuclear warhead with the explosive power of up to 300 kilotons (twenty-five times the power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II).
		It was designed to replace the Minuteman III, being the first "third-generation" ICBM.

		Minuteman III (LGM-30G) - launched from silo - as of June 28, 2004, there are 517 Minuteman III missiles in active inventory
		All USAF Minuteman II missiles have been destroyed in accordance to START, and their launch silos sealed or sold to the public.
		One of the key features of the first computer-controlled ICBM, the Minuteman missile was that it could quickly and easily use its computer to test itself.

	Boeing LGM-30 Minuteman
		The LGM-30G Minuteman III was an improved LGM-30F with a new enlarged third stage (with the same diameter as the second stage), using an Aerojet SR73-AJ-1 motor, and a radically new warhead section.
		The Minuteman IA missile was somewhat limited in firepower (its W-59 warhead had a yield of 1.2 MT) when compared to the contemporary SM-65/CGM-16 Atlas and SM-68/HGM-25 Titan missiles.
		The Minuteman II initially experienced a lot of reliability problems with its new guidance unit, because soild-state electronics were very new at the time, but the problems were eventually solved.

	Boeing: History -- Jets and Rockets Take Off - Boeing LGM-30 Minuteman Missile
		Minuteman II, first launched in 1964, was capable of striking from six to eight targets with far greater accuracy than its predecessor.
		Boeing-built Minuteman missile systems, operated by the Air Force Combat Command, are long-range, solid-fuel, three-stage, intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of carrying single or multiple nuclear warheads.
		By April 1967, 1,000 Minuteman missiles were operational and installed in six sites across the country.

		Minuteman Elite is neither funded nor approved for production, but is envisioned as a possible solution to emerging STRATCOM requirements.
		For each alert, the missile officers actually spend about 30 hours on duty, counting their mission briefing and driving up to 300 miles round-trip to and from the alert facility.
		Some Peacekeeper components actually will be shifted to the Minuteman IIIs, which are in the midst of a top-to-bottom modernization program expected to keep them in service until roughly 2020.

	Martin Marietta LGM-118 Peacekeeper
		It was intended as a replacement for the LGM-30 Minuteman, but it suffered from a long development time, and was actually retired before the Minuteman because of arms reduction treaties.
		In early 1983, it was finally decided to base Peacekeeper in Minuteman silos, and to develop a small mobile ICBM at a later time (this was to become the MGM-134 Midgetman, which was eventually cancelled, too).
		However, the U.S. Congress was not pleased with the idea of using Minuteman silos (regarded as too vulnerable), and halted MX development for one year to give the USAF time to select a mobile basing system.

		The LGM-30 Minuteman III will be able to provide the same kind of nuclear deterrence that the Peacekeeper did, even though they carry just a fraction of the destructive power.
		Each Minuteman III is capable of carrying three warheads and traveling almost anywhere in the world in 30 minutes.
		Military officials expect the smaller and newer Minuteman III missile system to take its place.
