    I was stationed at Ellsworth AFB from 81-85 as a missile maintenance tech. I honestly have to say it was the worst job I ever had. Those things required constant maintain, hours where long and hard. Never gave it much thought back then but it's amazing to think one of those things could wipe out a whole city. Made friend and many good memories guess it was worth it.

    The concept of mutually assured destruction (MAD) has three main legs, or the "triad" as it's called. These fixed, ground based silos are the first. The second is the air leg, with the bombers of SAC spread out across the US. The third is the Trident missile submarines. This leg is probably the most important. A first strike can target the fixed silos as well as the bases that the bombers are based out of. All well known to the world. But the subs cannot be taken out with a fist strike.

    One great omission is the part that Colonel Ed Hall, had…

    He did not have enough rank nor experience, so Generals were then placed in charge of actually making Col. Ed Hall’s design come to life.

    These missile sites seem overly complex. However they feared USSR nukes. We still have 400 fixed ICBM Minuteman III sites (6000 warheads). Now subs, ships, planes will deliver nukes as well, much more flexible and on the move.

    • @fredpearson5204

      While the United States does currently have 400 ICBMs, each missile can only carry a maximum of 3 RVs (nuclear reentry vehicles, or bombs if you will), so our ICBMs only account for up to a maximum of 1,200 warheads (actual number is classified). Your "6,000" number (actual number is closer to 5500 according to open sources) reflects the TOTAL number of warheads the United States has and are carried by ICBMs, SLBMs AND bombers.

    No one knew. Definate overbuild but in perspective with that era. After WWII and other expansionist attempts after WWII both sides of the equation were equally very wary of each others intent. McNamara did a DVD called "The Fog of War" as SECDEF for JFK and LBJ he mentions that there were at least 5 times that the world came very close to global scale nuclear disaster. I would say war but the followup to massive nuclear strikes would have been a disaster, as war wouldn't be able to be waged.
