91st Missile Wing

The 91st Missile Wing, activated in 1963, is a United States Air Force unit responsible for operating and maintaining Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Stationed at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, the wing plays a critical role in the nation's nuclear deterrence mission as part of Air Force Global Strike Command. The unit traces its lineage to the 91st Bombardment Group, which distinguished itself during World War II flying B-17s in Europe. Throughout the Cold War and into the present, the 91st Missile Wing has upheld its commitment to strategic readiness and national security.
