520			_aThe Air Force has deactivated its Wing VI missile sites under treaty with the USSR which requires demolition (implosion) of these sites. This report includes photographic documentation and research on Missile Alert Facility November-33.
545			_aIn 1963 Grand Forks AFB, outside of Grand Forks, North Dakota, was designated as the support base for the deployment of 150 Minuteman II ICBMs. Grand Forks AFB served as the home for Wing VI of the Minuteman ICBM force, the last wing formed by the Air Force. Designated as the 321st Strategic Missile Wing (SMW), it housed three Strategic Missile Squadrons (SMSs), the 446th, 447th, and 448th. Constructed in 1964-1965 as part of Minuteman II; it converted to Minuteman III in 1973. In 1985, the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and the Air Force Logistics Command jointly initiated a major Minuteman upgrade. Administered by Grand Forks AFB in North Dakota, Wing VI is the last cluster of Minuteman missile sites built by the Air Force and it represents the conclusive step in design and construction of this unique architectural and technological form. LF November-33 was one of 150 missile launch facilities (a.k.a. silos). The missile's most noteworthy feature was its multiple independently targeted reentry vehicle (MIRV).
