The Launch Facility for a LGM-30G Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Nicknamed "Blood Coulee" by its crews, the facility was constructed in the early 60's and initially housed an LGM-30A Minuteman I and was manned by the 10th Strategic Missile Squadron, assigned to the 341st Strategic Missile Wing stationed at Malmstrom AFB outside of Great Falls, Montana. In 1964, it upgraded to the LGM-30B and the LGM-30F in 1967. These were replaced with Minuteman IIIs from the inactivating 321st MW at Grand Forks AFB in 1996. Today, it remains at the ready, manned by the men & women assigned to the 10th.
