Missile Security: A Week in the Life of the Defenders

Airman 1st Class Devin Woodruff, 90th Missile Security Forces Squadron missile security operator, participates in a security response exercise at the Bravo-01 Missile Alert Facility near Bushnell, Nebraska, Feb. 20, 2025. 90, 790, and 890 MSFS rotate tripping out to the missile field monthly to reside in a MAF for a week, ensuring the constant security and protection of the Minuteman III - one of the nation’s most powerful strategic assets. Their 24/7/365 vigilance guarantees the Minuteman III weapon system remains secure, operational, and ready at a moment’s notice to uphold the U.S. nuclear deterrence mission.
