<P> Peaking at 1,000 missiles in the 1970s , the current U.S. force consists of 440 Minuteman - III missiles in missile silos around Malmstrom AFB , Montana ; Minot AFB , North Dakota ; and F.E. Warren AFB , Wyoming . By February 2018 this will be reduced to 400 armed missiles , with 50 unarmed missiles in reserve , and four non-deployed test launchers to comply with the New START treaty . The Air Force plans to keep the missile in service until at least 2030 . It is one component of the U.S. nuclear triad -- the other two parts of the triad being the Trident submarine - launched ballistic missile ( SLBM ) , and nuclear weapons carried by long - range strategic bombers . </P>
