The Air Force published a notice of intent to prepare a supplemental environmental review of revised Sentinel deployment plans on October 9. The revision, which replaces Minuteman III, cites cost and schedule risks associated with converting existing missile facilities. The Malmstrom-specific proposal includes acquiring land for up to 30 new launch silo sites and constructing a purpose-built Operations Group Facility.
