341st Missile Wing History Following the Cuban Missile Crisis, the 341st Missile Wing worked to bring its three Missile Squadrons to full operational capability. The 10th Strategic Missile Squadron (SMS) accepted its final missile on 28 February 1963. Two months later, the 12th SMS became 100 percent combat ready. On 3 July, the 490 SMS became fully operational, giving the 341st SMW responsibility for 150 silos. The last eight missiles emplaced in 490th launch facilities (LFs) were "B" models. The 490th is unique in that it is the only missile squadron to have deployed both "A" and "B" model missiles.
