390th Strategic Missile Wing

The 390th Strategic Missile Wing (390 SMW) was activated in 1962 at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, as part of the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command. The wing operated LGM-25C Titan II intercontinental ballistic missiles, serving as a key component of America’s nuclear deterrence during the Cold War. At its peak, the 390th managed eighteen Titan II missile silos, maintaining high readiness through rigorous training and alert status. The wing was inactivated in 1984 following the decommissioning of the Titan II system, marking the end of its distinguished service in strategic missile operations.
