USecAF Matt Lohmeier visits Minot AFB during ongoing modernization

Under Secretary of the Air Force Matt Lohmeier conducted a visit to Minot AFB on October 27, 2026, focusing on ongoing modernization initiatives at the base. During his assessment, Lohmeier engaged with leadership from both the 5th Bomb Wing and the 91st Missile Wing. A key element of this evaluation centered around the transition to the LGM-35A Sentinel program, representing significant advancements in strategic deterrence. The two wings coordinate closely to maintain combat readiness through bomber operations and continuous missile alert status, operating 24/7, 365 days a year. This sustained effort underscores Minot’s vital role within the nation's defense infrastructure.
