Editing LGM-30 Minuteman (section)

===Operational units===
The basic tactical unit of a Minuteman wing is the squadron, consisting of five flights. Each flight consists of ten unmanned [[Missile launch facility|launch facilities]] (LFs) which are remotely controlled by a manned [[Launch control center (ICBM)|launch control center]] (LCC). A two-officer crew is on duty in the LCC, typically for 24 hours. The five flights are interconnected and status from any LF may be monitored by any of the five LCCs. Each LF is located at least three nautical miles (5.6&nbsp;km) from any LCC.

Control does not extend outside the squadron (thus the [[319th Missile Squadron]]'s five LCCs cannot control the [[320th Missile Squadron]]'s 50 LFs even though they are part of the same Missile Wing). Each Minuteman wing is assisted logistically by a nearby Missile Support Base (MSB). If the ground-based LCCs are destroyed or incapacitated, the Minuteman ICBMs can be launched by airborne missileers utilizing the [[Airborne Launch Control System]].
