OVERVIEW: 

The 341st Missile Wing is the host unit for Malmstrom AFB.  As the host unit, the 341st Missile Wing is responsible for providing base support services, such as civil engineering, supply/logistics, housing and billeting, medical, personnel, and other support functions. The 341st Missile Wing has over 3,300 active-duty military and approximately 600 federal civilian employees. 

The 341st Missile Wing maintains and operates the Minuteman III nuclear Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM). The 341st Missile Wing is one of three operational intercontinental ballistic missile units. The 341st Missile Wing is responsible for 150 Minuteman III ICBMs, 15 missile alert facilities, and 150 remote launch facilities. These missiles and facilities are dispersed across an 13,800 square mile area in central Montana. The 341st Missile Wing also operates 8 UH-1N "Huey" helicopters needed to support missile operations across a widely dispersed complex.

Malmstrom AFB is also home to the 819th RED HORSE Squadron.  The 819th RED HORSE Squadron is an "associate unit" with approximately two-thirds of its 300 personnel being active-duty military and the other third Montana Air National Guard members. The 819th RED HORSE Squadron is a self-sufficient, mobile squadron able to deploy rapidly worldwide to remote, austere environments.The squadron provides heavy repair capability and construction support when requirements exceed normal base civil engineer capabilities (and where Army Corps of Engineers support is not readily available).
