Air Force Global Strike Command will gain missile wings at F.E. Warren AFB, Wyo.; Malmstrom AFB, Mont.; and Minot AFB, N.D. when it assumes control of 20th Air Force and the ICBM mission Dec. 1. The 576th Flight Test Squadron at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., as well as the 625th Strategic Operations Squadron at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., will also fall under the new command.
In February, AFGSC gains 8th Air Force and the nuclear-capable bomber mission. At that time, the command will gain bomber wings at Barksdale AFB, La.; Whiteman AFB, Mo.; and Minot AFB, N.D.
