===Military=== Great Falls is home to [[Malmstrom Air Force Base]] and the [[341st Missile Wing]]. The 341st Operations Group provides the forces to launch, monitor and secure the wing's [[Intercontinental ballistic missile]] (ICBM) and missile alert facilities (MAF). These ICBMs and MAFs are dispersed over the largest missile complex in the [[Western Hemisphere]], an area encompassing some {{convert|23000|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} (approximately the size of the state of [[West Virginia]]). The group manages a variety of equipment, facilities, and vehicles worth more than $5 billion. Also at Malmstrom are the [[819th RED HORSE Squadron]] (reactivated August 8, 1997) and the 219th RED HORSE Squadron [[Montana Air National Guard]]. Both units are rapid deployment units, and are the first "associate" RED HORSE squadrons in the Air Force, staffed by approximately two-thirds active-duty military and one-third Air National Guard personnel.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.redhorseassociation.org/unithistories819.html |title=RED HORSE Unit Histories |publisher=REDHORSE Association |access-date=April 5, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120408163821/http://www.redhorseassociation.org/unithistories819.html |archive-date=April 8, 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://rhpba.com/unit-histories/219th-red-horse-squadron/ |title=219th RED HORSE Squadron |first=Randy |last=Eckert |date=December 23, 2023 |publisher=RED HORSE and Prime BEEF Association |access-date=October 18, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://rhpba.com/unit-histories/819th-red-horse-squadron-acc/ |title=819th RED HORSE Squadron |first=Randy |last=Eckert |date=December 16, 2022 |publisher=RED HORSE and Prime BEEF Association |access-date=October 18, 2024}}</ref> [[Great Falls International Airport]] is home to multiple military units, including the Montana [[Air National Guard]]'s [[120th Airlift Wing]], which is composed of [[C-130 Hercules|C-130H]] cargo aircraft and associated support personnel.
