F. E. Warren Air Force Base initially had 200 Minuteman I missiles by mid 1963. These were all replaced by Minuteman IIIs by January 26, 1975 and 50 of them (flights P through T) were converted between 1986 and December 30 1988 to the only deployment of Peacekeeper missiles.
Peacekeepers were retired between October 2002 and September 2005. This leaves Warren with 150 Minuteman III missiles.
All of Warren's Minuteman III missiles were reduced from three warheads to a single warhead. This task was completed on August 6, 2001.
