That number varies from 0 to 200 (early missiles were not installed in silos) and includes Snark, Titan and Atlas missiles. Particularly in view of the remainer of the quote, I doubt this web site can be regarded as a reliable source. I know of no missile wing that had more than 4 operational squadrons. (see 242: 209: 198: 471:
for Strategic Missile Wings and their operational components). Even if the maintenance squadrons and the squadrons assigned to the wing's combat support group (if it had one), and the few wings with missile security groups were added on (and none of those "controll 10 silos") it would be hard to get

thank you for clearly getting started on this Augean stable. Can see you've started with the air refueling wings. However, R.E. Mixer did get one thing right: our syntax for titles. Should for preference be in the form 'Air refueling wings of the United States Air Force' when you move or set up new

If the change were only to the name and limiting the list to what its title says it is (contradicted in the first sentence of the lead by "This is a list of the three generations of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) produced and deployed by the United States during the Cold War, with a

That widening is up to you. Would you be prepared to add the additional content? You're our expert on this field. Otherwise would just go for something that decreases the overemphasis on SAC rather than the USAF as a whole (and avoids acronyms in a title).

Sounds like a much better title to me. There were no USAF Strategic Missile Wings not assigned to SAC. However, it strikes me that this article is a little narrow for an encyclopedia. Perhaps the article should be made more inclusive as

pages. This is to avoid any implication or mistaken impression, even if very slight, that such a wing might be formally designated the 109th United States Air Force Air Refueling Wing. Cheers, do ask for help or a second read if you wish.

can this page have its scope widened properly to all Strategic Missile Wings to avoid the USAF acronym in the title, with a move something like "List of Strategic Missile Wings of the United States Air Force?"

This list is both overinclusive (it lists squadrons that were not assigned to missile wings) and underinclusive (it does not list either the 700 series wings nor the MAJCON wings in the 4000-4400 block of

The number of missiles controlled is generally true for today's Minuteman missile wings, but the article is about wings assigned to

Missile wings control about 150 silos. Each wing may be organized into up to 15 squadrons which would control 10 silos each.
