This heritage pamphlet from Malmstrom AFB traces the history of the 341st Missile Wing. The unit began as a B-25 bomb group in the China-Burma-India Theater in 1942, then flew B-47s at Abilene AFB before being activated at Malmstrom in July 1961. The pamphlet covers the Minuteman I, II and III deployments, the Cuban Missile Crisis alert, arms-reduction work under START, trophies, wing commanders and a missile field chronology. It also has museum display notes on missiles and the UH-1 helicopter.
341st Missile Wing History 21 October 2015: The 341st Missile Wing received the Blanchard Trophy awarded at Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, following the score posting for the fifth Global Strike Challenge Competition. The 341 MW swept the major events also taking home the Innovation Excellence Trophy, the Klotz Trophy, the Blackburn Trophy, and the Neary Trophy. This win came after a drought since their last Blanchard garnered in 2008. 17 December 2015: The 120th Airlift Wing began C-130 airdrop training and qualification flights over Malmstrom AFB. Two of the Hercules transports dropped 15-pound sand bags deployed with parachutes over an area roughly southeast of the base runway. 30 December 2015: The 341st Missile Operations Squadron held a ceremony to inactivate the squadron at Malmstrom AFB, Montana after its association with the wing for over 24 years. The action came as a MAJCOM response to align the MOS’ at all three ICBM wings with the maintenance organization and naming convention of the rest of the Air Force.
