Minot AFB Minuteman Missile Site Coordinates

Minot Air Force Base, located in northern North Dakota, initially had 150 Minuteman I missiles. These were in place by mid 1964 and upgraded to Minuteman III between 1970 and December 13, 1971.

The people: Minot's Minuteman missiles are overseen by the 91st Missile Wing, 740th Strategic Missile Squadron (SMS), 741st SMS, and 742nd SMS in conjunction with the 91st Maintenance Squadron, 91st Operations Group, and many others. See for example:

http://strategic-air-command.com/wings/0091mw.htm History of the 91st. The 91st SW replaced the 455th Strategic Missile Wing on June 25 1968 (the 455th SMW was activated November 1 1962 along with the 740th SMS). On June 6, 2008, it was announced the three active ICBM Space Wings would be renamed Missile Wings.

Each squadron is responsible for 5 flights of 10 missiles each, or 50 missiles. Sites are designated by flight, using one letter of the alphabet, followed by a number. The first site in each flight is #1 and designates the Missile Alert Facility (MAF) which consists of an above-ground structure plus an underground Launch Control Center (LCC) staffed by two officers. The Launch Facilities (LFs, i.e. missile silos) are numbered 2 through 11 and are connected to the MAF/LCC by the Hardened Intersite Cable System (HICS) which also interconnects flights. The 740th SMS includes flights A through E; the 741st includes flights F through J; and the 742nd includes flights K through O.

For humor, I also include the nicknames given in Nuclear Heartland.

According to Nuclear Heartland, twelve LFs and one MAF are on the Fort Berthold Reservation of the Cheyenne Nation: E-8, E-9, E-10, F-7, F-8, F-9, H-4, H-5, H-6, H-7, H-8, H-9, and MAF H-1.

Menno Simons (1496-1561) was a Catholic priest in the Netherlands who increasingly doubted church doctrine and eventually founded the Mennonites who prefer the New Testament over the Old. They feel the Old Testament is permissive in that it allowed many bad things such as divorce, polygamy, and war. The latter is probably the intended reference of the nickname of this site.

The USGS photo is slightly interesting for two reasons. First it's an example of a spliced photo taken at two different times, notice the cultivation patterns. Second, notice the farmer avoided something running from the south side of the site to the southeast; this is probably the hardened cable system but it's unusual for a farmer to have to avoid it, the cables are buried quite deeply. And a question -- when an image is made up of more than one photo, taken on different dates, which date did MSR Maps list? Apparently in this case the left side was July 28 1995, the right side was September 2 1995 (inferred by panning left and right).

This is the training Launch Facility (LF, silo) for Minot. Notice that, like Whiteman AFB, it has 4 gates so it will present all possible field configurations to trainees. However, note that the north and west gates require driving through the enclosure and around the loop.

Judging by the perimeter fence, this is probably the Weapons Storage Area.

Menno Simons (1496-1561) was a Catholic priest in the Netherlands who increasingly doubted church doctrine and eventually founded the Mennonites who prefer the New Testament over the Old. They feel the Old Testament is permissive in that it allowed many bad things such as divorce, polygamy, and war. The latter is probably the intended reference of the nickname of this site.

The USGS photo is slightly interesting for two reasons. First it's an example of a spliced photo taken at two different times, notice the cultivation patterns. Second, notice the farmer avoided something running from the south side of the site to the southeast; this is probably the hardened cable system but it's unusual for a farmer to have to avoid it, the cables are buried quite deeply. And a question -- when an image is made up of more than one photo, taken on different dates, which date did MSR Maps list? Apparently in this case the left side was July 28 1995, the right side was September 2 1995 (inferred by panning left and right).
