An arrangement of 10 LGM-30G Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Launch Facilities and a single Launch Control Facility, Echo is one of five missile flights manned by the men and women of the 319th Missile Squadron, 90th Missile Wing. The 90th MW was activated on February 21, 1963 at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming and is presently stationed there today. F. E. Warren is one of three Air Force Bases today that operate the Minuteman III ICBM as part of America's nuclear arsenal. The Minuteman missiles will likely be upgraded at some point in the near future to extend their operational service life.
