Vandenberg conducts Minuteman III flight test

The flight test was the first for the 576th Flight Test Squadron since its realignment under Air Force Global Strike Command.
The missile's single re-entry test vehicle traveled approximately 4,190 miles before hitting its pre-determined target near the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
"Team Vandenberg's coordination was phenomenal resulting in a seamless launch operation," said Col. Steven Winters, the 30th Space Wing vice commander and Launch Decision Authority.
