A final decision will come once that review is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vandenberg already hosts operations courses for the current ICBM fleet at the 381st Training Group. Also at the base is the 576th Flight Test Squadron, which handles Minuteman III test launches throughout the year to ensure the missile systems are working properly and to vet upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GBSD missiles will replace all 400 operational Minuteman III missiles in silos across the United States between fiscal 2029 and 2036, according to the Air Force. The land-based portion of the American nuclear triad sits underground in parts of Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Northrop Grumman is the prime contractor building a modern, longer-range missile fleet, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-10-03\/new-u-s-icbms-could-cost-up-to-264-billion-over-decades\" target=_blank>estimated to cost as much as $264 billion<\/a> \u2014 plus another $14.8 billion for the nuclear warheads \u2014 for development, assembly and decades of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are fully committed to the GBSD program of record, which will ensure our nation\u2019s nuclear force is ready to meet the warfighting needs of today and tomorrow,\u201d Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.
