An arrangement of 10 LGM-30G Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Launch Facilities and a single Launch Control Facility, Lima was one of five missile flights manned by airmen of the 448th Strategic Missile Squadron, 321st Missile Wing. The 321st MW was activated in November of 1965 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.
