The U.S. Air Force is holding town meetings and community engagements in Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska this month to inform the local public and landowners about Ground Based Strategic Deterrence activities planned in their areas.

The Air Force has started the process of determining real estate and utility easements needed for
the new intercontinental ballistic missile system, Sentinel, expected to break ground in 2026.

During these meetings, the Air Force will explain the new GBSD system mission and purpose. Then,
experts will explain the next steps in the real estate process and the purpose of right-of-entry agreements to landowners. Finally, they will provide subject matter experts to answer any questions landowners might
have about GBSD.

The town meetings starting at 6 p.m. are scheduled for April 20 in Banner County High School, Banner County, Nebraska; April 22 in Kimball County High School, Kimball, Nebraska; April 25 in Prairie High School for Weld and Logan County, Colorado; April 27 in Sidney High School, Cheyenne County, Nebraska.

The Air Force is modernizing existing Minuteman III systems, including missile silos, control centers
and other ground infrastructure at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming; Malmstrom AFB, Montana; and
Minot AFB, North Dakota.
