?? Precision in Motion: 90th Missile Wing Executes Unarmed Minuteman III Test Launch ?? Over a 45-day period, a dedicated team from the 90th Missile Maintenance Squadron transported 16 components of an unarmed Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) from F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, to Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. The 1,287-mile operation was a feat of logistics prowess. Upon arrival, the 90 MMXS team reassembled the missile, which led to a successful operational test launch at 1 a.m. PST on February 19, 2025. These test launches, planned five years in advance and conducted three times annually, play a crucial role in validating the reliability, accuracy, and deterrence capability of the Minuteman III system. “For the broader U.S. deterrence mission, this launch signifies that our ICBM leg of the nuclear triad remains credible and capable," said Col. Johnny Galbert, 90th Missile Wing commander. "The hard work and effort that goes into operating, maintaining, and securing this weapon system was on full display at Vandenberg SFB. The men and women of the Mighty Ninety are extremely proud of this critical mission.” This successful test the unwavering commitment of the 90th Missile Wing to maintaining a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent.

?? Logistics in Action: 309th AMARG ?? This week, we witnessed supply chain logistics at its finest—regeneration, reclamation, and sustainment operations at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson, Arizona. These mission-critical activities are essential to maintaining a lethal and ready Air Force. Known as the legendary “Boneyard,” AMARG currently stores more than 3,350 aircraft and executes five key missions: ? Storage – Preserving aircraft for future use ?? Reclamation – Harvesting parts to sustain active fleets ?? Regeneration – Restoring aircraft to operational status ?? Depot-Level Maintenance – Performing deep structural repairs ? Disposal – Managing aircraft at the end of their lifecycle AMARG also leads game-changing sustainment efforts, including: ? F-16 Programmed Structural Sustainment and Repair (PSSR) – Extending the lifespan of F-16s ? B-1B Regeneration – Restoring two B-1B bombers after three years in storage to support Global Strike Command’s operational requirements AMARG exemplifies how logistics drive readiness, ensuring aircraft remain combat-capable and mission-ready when called upon. #AirForceReadiness #LogisticsExcellence #MissionReady
