What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Fergus County held a public input hearing on October 31, 2026, regarding the Sentinel Missile Program. The Air Force is replacing the aging Minute Man III missiles with the Sentinel Missile, which Northrop-Grumman is developing. Program modifications mean the Air Force will build entirely new silos and require new fiber optic lines, moving away from reusing old infrastructure. These changes could trigger the need for a supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.
