Getting up to speed on tornado safety

LRAFB History Fast Fact

Once a bombardment wing, the 308th Strategic Missile Wing reactivated April 1, 1962, with the mission of manning the 18th Titan II silos under construction around Central Arkansas. Components of the 308th Strategic Missile Wingconsisted of the 373rdand 374th Strategic Missile Squadrons. Crews from the 308th SMW held the distinction of being the first and last combat-ready missile crews to fire Titan IIs from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. From 1963 to 1987, crews maintained missiles on 24-hour alert, ready to launch within minutes after receipt of authenticated orders from the National Command Authorities.
