The LGM-30 Minuteman is still in service today as an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). As of 2010, the version LGM-30G Minuteman III is the only land-based ICBM in service in the United States. It is one component of a nuclear triad, which is complemented by the Trident submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) and by nuclear weapons carried by long-range strategic bombers. The letter L in LGM indicates that the missile is silo-launched the G indicates that it is designed to attack ground targets the M indicates that it is a guided missile. The name Minuteman comes from the Revolutionary Wars Minutemen. It also refers to its quick reaction time the missile can be launched in about 1 minute. The Air Force plans to keep the missile in service until at least 2030. The current US force consists of 450 Minuteman-III missiles in missile silos around F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming Malmstrom AFB, Montana and Minot AFB, North Dakota.
