351st Missile Security Squadron

The 351st Missile Security Squadron was an integral unit of the United States Air Force, assigned to Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. Activated during the Cold War era, the squadron provided security for the 351st Strategic Missile Wing’s Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) sites. Its personnel were responsible for safeguarding missile silos, launch control facilities, and support assets against potential threats. The squadron remained operational until the 351st Missile Wing was inactivated in the 1990s due to arms reduction treaties and the deactivation of Minuteman II missiles at Whiteman AFB.
