    Montana and the ICBM installations central Montana hosts is only a portion of the modernization effort. Gen. Conner told the audience that the first phase of the Sentinel Project will begin in Wyoming, focused around F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne. That launch will likely begin in 2026. The project is scheduled to move its center to central Montana in or around 2030 and will remain here for approximately five years. Then the project will move on to Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota.

    Quote:

    Will the modernization of the nation’s ICBM’s start an arms race?

    “We’re not building additional ICBMs,” replied Col. Barry Little, Commander of the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom. “We’re not adding anything, we’re simply replacing what we currently have. We will adhere to the treaties that we are already partners of and will follow those treaty guidelines. From that perspective it’s the status quo.”
