Road Trip: Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana

Malmstrom Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base in Great Falls, Cascade County, Montana, United States. It was named in honor of World War II POW Colonel Einar Axel Malmstrom. It is the home of the 341st Missile Wing (341 MW) of the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC).

Malmstrom AFB is one of three US Air Force Bases that maintains and operates the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. The 341st Missile Wing reports directly to Twentieth Air Force at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming. It is part of Global Strike Command headquartered at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana.

The Air Force has made significant strides and commitments in its efforts to extend the service life of the ICBM force with nearly $6.2 billion committed to life-extension programs.

The result is tangible improvements to the combat capability of Malmstrom's Minuteman IIIs, none of which could be accomplished without the hard work of group's 520 maintenance troops.

Those current and future improvements aim to extend the service life of the Minuteman III through 2020.

The 341st Missile Maintenance Squadron maintains the immediate launch readiness of 150 Minuteman III ICBMs and 15 missile alert facilities spread over a 13,800-square mile complex.

They replace limited life components, remove and replace missiles, reentry systems and guidance sets; repair security, command and control, electrical systems and environmental control systems.

Technicians also conduct periodic maintenance inspections and perform corrosion control work to sustain launch facilities and missile alert facilities.

The 341st Security Forces Group, the largest security forces group in the Air Force, ensures the most stringent security forces' support to the largest intercontinental ballistic missile complex in the world through effective management of all war-fighting and peacetime security taskings assigned to the 341st Missile Wing.

The units of the 341st Security Forces Group include the 341st Security Forces Squadron, the 341st Missile Security Forces Squadron, the 741st Missile Security Forces Squadron and the 341st Security Support Squadron.

[The Mayor]

We are in the midst of 2 days of snow.
No big deal but the governor called a state of emergency.
We are better than this.

Once this storm has passed and I’m shoveled out, I might make a run up to the (cringe) Apple Store.

My beloved genius husband and Live-In Technical Consultant passed away 6 years ago TOMORROW.

It was a little late getting started (good), but it is warm so the snow is wet (bad)

[left that other site]

“Nope.”

(It’s good to know that I am not alone!)

Sitting with Stella-the-Blizzard outside as we speak.

Ungh.

Ahhh...three hours without the Feds is three good hours! Glad you are staying home....or I assume that’s the case. Stay warm and dry!

[luvie]

Well, Early Birds!
Seems like it DID snow!
For you...not for me!
It's supposed to get up to 80° here today!
~~~~ducking~~~~
We can have a tea party instead!
One lump or two?
Anyhooooooo 🦉y'all stay safe and warm!
This too shall pass!
(((((hugs)))))

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?

[luvie]

Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))

All is well here...just running late on everything! Stayed up too late and got up later than usual. I can do that since I’m retired...right?

How’s it going for you and Bo? Did he have a successful hunting trip to the lake yesterday?

[E.G.C.]

No, but maybe today. We’ll see.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Greetings from the blizzardly frozen tundra!
I called the retail store and told them to FORGET about me trying to drive in this mess to go to work!

The storm started at about 10 am, and is just HAMMERING us here in Maine!
Whatever everyone else did not get, WE got!
Glad Mr B didn’t have to work today, either!

[luvie]

Howdy, Sis! (((hugs)))

Thanks for checking in! Sure glad you and Mr B didn’t go to work today. I’m sure they understand! Stay huddled up around the kitchen stove and just be warm and cozy. Hope you have something good bubbling in a pot on said stove! :)

Maybe it’ll be gone soon! We can hope!

[Publius]

At least you have power.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Shhhhh!!
Don’t say that, you’ll curse us!
If it does quit, we also have a generator!
;0)

[mylife]

Thought it went inland?

Oh well, grilled cheese and tomater soup kinda day :)

[MS.BEHAVIN]

It went out to sea and THEN inland.
That thar is called a “Yankee Clipper”
It’s still snowing to beat hell!

[mylife]

Hope all is clear in the AM.

I know it won’t be for rural Maine.

[mylife]

Might a well start on the pancake batter and hash browns now :)

[mylife]

And the Coco.

Eggs and toast is easy

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m so glad you chose to stay safely put!!

And that Mr B could stay with you.

Stay warm and safe. ((HUGS))
