US Nuke unit fails key security test
None
An Air Force unit that operates one-third of the nation's land-based nuclear missile force has failed a safety and security inspection, marking the second major setback this year for a force charged with the military's most sensitive mission, the general in charge of the Air Force's nuclear force said Tuesday.
The failure was recorded by the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana, which is responsible for 150 Minuteman 3 nuclear missiles that stand on 24/7 alert for potential launch against targets around the globe. (AP)
