The celebration of being on nuclear alert for 61 years, the 341st Missile Wing held an event engaging multiple squadrons across the base. During this event, tours were provided to showcase parts of the mission that most people don’t see everyday, providing a new insight to those who participated. The patch contains three prominent elements that showcase the mission at Malmstrom AFB. The helicopters patrol the missile field, providing security and surveillance to accomplish the mission. The phrase NC3 represents the systems support planning and execution of the nuclear mission. Finally, the term “circa 1961” represents the year that the 341st MW went on alert during the Cuban Missile Crisis. This design was distributed as a patch and worn throughout the month to spread awareness of this campaign.
