An arrangement of 10 LGM-30G Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Launch Facilities and a single Launch Control Facility, Bravo was one of five missile flights manned by airmen of the 446th Strategic Missile Squadron, 321st Missile Wing. The 321st was activated in November of 1964 at Grand Forks Air Force Base, outside Grand Forks, North Dakota, and was stationed there until its inactivation in July of 1998. The missiles and their crews were inactivated during the mid to late 90's as part of the U.S. Air Force's reorganization following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the signing of several arms-reduction treaties with the former USSR.

    These are ICBM launch groups. Organized in flights, one flight controls all the missiles on its territory.
