Air Force Global Command Officials Name ICBM Mission Tuesday, 12 January 2010 12:34 Air Force Global Strike Command officials at Barksdale AFB assumed the Air Force's intercontinental ballistic missile mission on December 1. The ICBM transfer is part of a phased approach to unify all Air Force nuclear-capable assets under one command. The new command gains three missile wings with the assumption of the 20th Air Force mission: one each from F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo.; Malmstrom AFB, Mont.; and Minot AFB, N.D. Command officials also assume responsibility for all of the United States' 450 ICBMs. The 576th Flight Test Squadron at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., as well as the 625th Strategic Operations Squadron at Offutt AFB, Neb., also now fall under AFGSC. Previously all of those units were part of Air Force Space Command. ♦ Back to Top
