Summary
[edit]DescriptionMissile Combat Crew on alert.jpg |
English: Minuteman missile combat crew on alert. Typically, a two-person missile combat crew is on alert in an underground launch control center for 24 hours at a time monitoring their ICBMs, ready to launch them if directed. Under a test being conducted by 20th Air Force officials, three-person crews are going to pull 72-hour alerts at select facilities to weigh the advantages of going to such a schedule. Officials from 20th Air Force will evaluate the test after three months to determine whether to implement the initiative across the entire missile force. |

Image title | 1st Lt. John Manibusan, left, and 2nd Lt. Trey Marshall on duty in launch control center (LCC) B-1 on Aug. 18. The officers, from Killeen and San Antonio, TX are a missile combat crew with the 740th Missile Squadron, Minot Air Force Base, TX. From inside the LCC capsule, the crew will be on duty for 24 hours, able to communicate, and monitor and launch up to 10 Minuteman III missiles. If necessary, they can remain sealed in the capsule for a week with existing air, food, water and power supplies. To launch a missile requires four hands to be on the controls and key. The keys are in the small double-padlocked cabinet above the crew stations. Even with these measures in place, another LCC miles, away can cancel a launch command from this LCC.
