The 322d Missile Security Squadron (322 MSS) is a unit assigned to the 319th Security Forces Group at Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota. Historically, this squadron was responsible for providing dedicated security for the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) sites during the Cold War, ensuring the safety and operational readiness of the nation’s strategic deterrent forces. The 322 MSS played a crucial role in missile field security operations, convoy protection, and immediate response to potential threats against missile installations. Following the inactivation of the missile wing at Grand Forks in the mid-1990s, the 322 MSS was deactivated, but its legacy endures as a key contributor to America’s nuclear security during a critical era.
