390th SMW

The 390th Strategic Missile Wing (SMW) was activated in 1962 at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, as part of the United States Air Force’s efforts during the Cold War. Assigned to the Strategic Air Command, the 390th SMW operated LGM-25C Titan II intercontinental ballistic missiles, serving as a critical component of America’s nuclear deterrent force. The wing maintained 18 missile silos and played a vital role in national defense throughout its operational years. The 390th SMW was inactivated in 1984 following the decommissioning of the Titan II missile system.
