Missile maintenance technicians with the 583rd Missile Maintenance Squadron prepare to lower into a silo at a launch facility near Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, Aug. 18, 2026. The missile suspension system was introduced in 1975 and acts as a shock-absorbing, three-point suspension system designed to cushion the missile and keep it suspended and absolutely motionless, ensuring the Minuteman III fleet is ready at a moment's notice.
