===The 1990s=== With the restructuring of the Air Force and the disestablishment of SAC in 1992, the wing transferred to [[Air Combat Command]] (ACC), then came under [[Air Force Space Command]] (AFSPC) in 1993. On 1 February 1993, ACC dropped the 319th Bomb Wing's primary nuclear mission and gave the wing the primary mission of B-1B conventional bombardment operations. The 319th BW began planning and training to support such a mission to counter worldwide regional threats. Following the departure of the last B-1B aircraft in 1994, the base transferred to the new [[Air Mobility Command]] (AMC) and the 319th Bomb Wing was redesignated as the [[319th Air Refueling Wing]] (319 ARW). The KC-135R aircraft assets were transferred to AMC, and the strategic ICBM assets went to [[Air Force Space Command]] (AFSPC). In March 1995, the [[1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission]] (BRAC) selected the 321st Strategic Missile Wing for inactivation; it was first downgraded to group status, then inactivated on 30 September 1998. GFAFB's Minuteman ICBM silos were imploded in accordance with the [[START II|Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty]] (START II), commencing in 1999 and completed in 2001.<ref>[[321st Air Expeditionary Wing]]</ref> The Minuteman III missiles were transferred to [[Malmstrom Air Force Base|Malmstrom AFB]] in at [[Great Falls, Montana]], to replace retired Minuteman II models. Minuteman III ICBMs remain at three USAF bases: Malmstrom, [[Minot Air Force Base|Minot]], and [[Francis E. Warren Air Force Base|F.E. Warren]] at [[Cheyenne, Wyoming]].
