AFB, Texas, on Sept. 1, 1963.
After the mission change in 1963, life on Whiteman remained
relatively stable throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Still, there
were programs to continually update and improve the base's
weapons systems. Whiteman initially employed the
Minuteman I weapons system until the mid-1960s when a
force modernization program converted the Minuteman I to
the Minuteman II.
