Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile
An unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, equipped with a test reentry vehicle, is launched during an operational test at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., Feb. 25, 2016. The 91st Missile Wing at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., and the 625th Strategic Operations Squadron at Offutt AFB, Neb., conducted the launch with the support of the 576th Flight Test Squadron at Vandenberg. Strategic weapons tests support U.S. Strategic Command's strategic deterrence mission by verifying the accuracy and reliability of the ICBM weapon system, and provide valuable data to ensure a continued safe, secure, effective and ready nuclear deterrent.
