During the Cold War, ICBM crews at Minot Air Force Base and other nuclear missile installations across the Great Plains spent 24-72 hour shifts locked in underground Launch Control Centers where asbestos exposure reached levels 50 times higher than EPA safety limits. These missileers—nuclear missile operations officers and maintenance technicians—worked in sealed capsules measuring just 1,000-1,200 square feet with deteriorating asbestos insulation, no ventilation to the outside, and no escape during their alert duty. AP investigations documented dangerously high airborne asbestos fiber concentrations in facilities where crews ate, slept, and monitored America's nuclear arsenal. Veterans who served at missile bases are now developing mesothelioma and lung cancer decades later. These veterans qualify for VA disability benefits and can connect with specialized attorneys for additional compensation claims.
Executive Summary
Between 1961 and 2026, ICBM crews at Minot AFB, Malmstrom AFB, and F.E. Warren AFB served 24-72 hour shifts in underground Launch Control Centers containing extensive asbestos materials. The United States built over 1,000 ICBM silos across the Great Plains, with 450 Minuteman III missiles still operational as of 2026. Each underground facility used asbestos in pipe insulation, electrical insulation, fire barriers, acoustic dampening panels, and blast-resistant coatings. AP investigations documented asbestos exposure levels 50 times higher than EPA limits in sealed capsules where crews had no ventilation to the surface. Missile crew members worked, ate, and slept in these confined spaces during alert duty, accumulating intense concentrated exposure. Veterans are now developing mesothelioma and lung cancer 20-50 years after service. All veterans with mesothelioma automatically receive 100% VA disability ($3,938.58-$4,158.17 monthly in 2026), plus eligibility for asbestos trust fund claims totaling $300,000-$400,000 or more. Documentation through DD-214 records and Air Force Specialty Codes establishes service at missile bases for compensation claims.

What Was the Cold War ICBM Program and How Many Silos Were Built?
The United States deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) beginning in 1959 as a cornerstone of nuclear deterrence during the Cold War. The Strategic Air Command constructed over 1,000 missile silos across the Great Plains states—primarily North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Missouri, and Kansas—to house Atlas, Titan, and Minuteman missiles.[1]
Each missile field consisted of 150-200 silos spread across thousands of square miles, with Launch Control Centers (LCCs) positioned to monitor and control 10 missiles each. The construction program between 1958 and 1967 represented the largest military infrastructure project in American history, with each underground facility requiring extensive fireproofing, insulation, and blast protection—virtually all containing asbestos materials.
"The missile silo program created a hidden asbestos exposure crisis that we're only now fully understanding as Cold War veterans develop mesothelioma decades later. These crews served their country in sealed underground capsules, breathing asbestos-contaminated air for days at a time with no idea of the health consequences."
— Larry Gates, Senior Advocate, Danziger & De Llano
The Minuteman missile system became the primary U.S. land-based nuclear deterrent, with Minuteman I deployed from 1962, Minuteman II from 1965, and Minuteman III from 1970. As of 2026, all 450 remaining operational ICBMs are Minuteman III missiles stationed at three bases: Minot AFB (150 missiles), Malmstrom AFB (150 missiles), and F.E. Warren AFB (150 missiles).[2]
According to the military exposure overview, the Air Force designed these facilities to withstand nuclear attack, requiring fire-resistant and blast-resistant materials throughout—leading to extensive asbestos use in every underground structure.
How Was Asbestos Used in Missile Silo and Launch Control Center Construction?
Missile silos and Launch Control Centers incorporated asbestos in multiple critical applications. The underground facilities required materials that could withstand extreme temperatures, provide fire protection, insulate against heat and cold, dampen noise, and resist blast effects from nearby nuclear explosions.
Launch Control Centers used asbestos pipe insulation around all heating, cooling, and ventilation system piping. The underground capsules maintained environmental controls for crew comfort and equipment operation, with extensive piping networks wrapped in asbestos-containing insulation throughout the facility.[3]
| Asbestos Application | Location in Facility | Exposure Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Pipe Insulation | Heating/cooling systems, ventilation ducts | High - deteriorating material released fibers |
| Electrical Insulation | Cable conduits, control systems, communication lines | High - maintenance work disturbed materials |
| Fire Barriers | Equipment protection, structural fireproofing | Moderate - intact unless disturbed |
| Acoustic Dampening | Wall panels, ceiling tiles, noise reduction surfaces | High - panels degraded over time |
| Blast-Resistant Coatings | Walls, ceilings, structural steel | Moderate - sealed but present |
| Gaskets and Seals | Blast doors, equipment panels, access hatches | High - regular maintenance required |
Electrical cable insulation throughout the control systems contained asbestos fibers for fire resistance. The Launch Control Centers housed complex computer systems, communications equipment, and monitoring systems—all connected by extensive electrical wiring with asbestos-containing insulation. Maintenance work on these systems regularly disturbed asbestos materials.
Fire-resistant barriers protected sensitive equipment from potential fires in the enclosed underground space. Acoustic dampening panels reduced noise from ventilation systems, communication equipment, and operational activities in the confined capsule. Blast-resistant coatings on walls and ceilings provided structural protection designed to survive nearby nuclear detonations.
"These facilities were built to survive a nuclear war, which meant asbestos in every possible application—insulation, fireproofing, electrical systems, acoustic panels. The problem was that deteriorating asbestos released fibers continuously in a sealed environment where crews had no escape."
— Larry Gates, Senior Advocate, Danziger & De Llano
The occupational exposure index documents that military construction during the Cold War era universally relied on asbestos for these critical safety applications, with no consideration given to long-term health effects on personnel who would occupy these facilities.[4]
Why Did Underground Launch Control Centers Create Such Dangerous Exposure Conditions?
The unique design of Launch Control Centers created a perfect storm for concentrated asbestos exposure. Each LCC capsule measured approximately 1,000-1,200 square feet—roughly the size of a small apartment—and sat 30-60 feet underground, completely sealed from the surface except for ventilation shafts and emergency access tunnels.
During alert duty, two-person crews remained locked inside these capsules for 24-72 hour shifts with no ability to exit except in emergencies. The sealed environment meant that any asbestos fibers released from deteriorating materials accumulated in the breathing space with no dilution from outside air.[5]
The ventilation systems recirculated air within the capsule but provided minimal fresh air exchange with the surface. This design was intentional—the facilities needed to maintain positive air pressure and filtered air supply in case of nuclear attack. The consequence was that asbestos fibers remained suspended in the enclosed atmosphere throughout the duty period.
AP investigations documented asbestos exposure levels 50 times higher than EPA safe limits in some Launch Control Centers at Minot AFB. The measurements revealed that aging pipe insulation, deteriorating acoustic panels, and damaged electrical insulation continuously released asbestos fibers into the confined space where crews worked.[6]
"Imagine spending three days straight in a sealed capsule the size of a small apartment, breathing air contaminated with asbestos at levels 50 times what EPA considers safe. That was the reality for missile crews during the Cold War. They had no choice, no protective equipment, and no warning about the dangers."
— Larry Gates, Senior Advocate, Danziger & De Llano
Crew members worked 12-hour shifts monitoring missile status, with one officer on duty while the other rested in a small sleep area within the capsule. They ate meals prepared in a small galley area, used the capsule's bathroom facilities, and lived entirely within the contaminated environment. Extended duty periods during exercises or alerts meant even longer exposure times.
The combination of confined space, sealed environment, deteriorating asbestos materials, and extended exposure periods created cumulative exposure levels comparable to or exceeding those experienced by industrial asbestos workers. Veterans who served multiple tours at missile bases accumulated significant lifetime exposure.
Which Air Force Bases Had ICBM Silos With Documented Asbestos Exposure?
Three Air Force bases currently operate Minuteman III missiles and contain Launch Control Centers with documented asbestos exposure. These active installations continue to maintain the Cold War-era infrastructure, with ongoing asbestos management and abatement programs.
| Base Name | Location | Missile Count | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minot AFB | North Dakota | 150 Minuteman III | Active - Legacy asbestos present |
| Malmstrom AFB | Montana | 150 Minuteman III | Active - Legacy asbestos present |
| F.E. Warren AFB | Wyoming | 150 Minuteman III | Active - Legacy asbestos present |
| Whiteman AFB | Missouri | 150 Minuteman II (decommissioned) | Decommissioned 1995 |
| Grand Forks AFB | North Dakota | 150 Minuteman (decommissioned) | Decommissioned 1998 |
| Ellsworth AFB | South Dakota | 150 Minuteman II (decommissioned) | Decommissioned 1994 |
| Mountain Home AFB | Idaho | 12 Atlas E (decommissioned) | Decommissioned 1965 |
Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota operates 150 Minuteman III missiles across five missile squadrons covering 8,500 square miles. The base constructed its Launch Control Centers between 1960 and 1962, with extensive asbestos use in all underground facilities. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) health assessments documented asbestos-containing materials throughout Minot's missile field infrastructure.[7]
Malmstrom AFB in Montana controls 150 missiles spread across central Montana. The base's three missile squadrons cover approximately 23,500 square miles—the largest missile complex in terms of geographic area. Construction occurred from 1961 to 1963, using identical asbestos-containing materials and designs as other Minuteman bases.
F.E. Warren AFB in Wyoming operates 150 missiles across southeastern Wyoming, western Nebraska, and northeastern Colorado. As the oldest continuously active military installation in the Air Force, Warren AFB has the longest history of missile operations and the most extensive documentation of asbestos exposure concerns.
Decommissioned bases including Whiteman AFB (Missouri), Grand Forks AFB (North Dakota), and Ellsworth AFB (South Dakota) housed Minuteman missiles until the mid-1990s. Veterans who served at these installations during their operational years experienced the same asbestos exposure as personnel at currently active bases.
Earlier Atlas and Titan missile sites operated from 1959 through the early 1980s at dozens of additional locations. These first-generation ICBM facilities also contained extensive asbestos materials and exposed personnel to significant health risks during their service.
What Health Problems Are Missile Crew Veterans Developing Decades Later?
Veterans who served as missile crew members during the 1960s through 1990s are now developing mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis 20-50 years after their underground service. The latency period for asbestos-related diseases means that veterans now in their 60s and 70s are receiving diagnoses from exposure that occurred during their military service decades earlier.
Mesothelioma is the most serious asbestos-related cancer, affecting the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart. The disease has no cure and typically provides only 12-21 months median survival from diagnosis. Virtually all mesothelioma cases result from asbestos exposure, making it a definitive signal of occupational or environmental exposure.[8]
"We're seeing missile crew veterans develop mesothelioma at rates that confirm what the AP investigations documented—those underground capsules had dangerous asbestos levels. These men and women served in sealed environments for days at a time, and they're paying the price now with terminal diagnoses."
— Larry Gates, Senior Advocate, Danziger & De Llano
Lung cancer related to asbestos exposure occurs at elevated rates in veterans with significant cumulative exposure. While smoking increases lung cancer risk, asbestos exposure acts synergistically with tobacco use to dramatically increase cancer rates. Non-smoking veterans with asbestos exposure also develop lung cancer at higher rates than the general population.[9]
Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by asbestos fiber scarring of lung tissue. The condition develops gradually over decades, causing progressive shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, chest tightness, and reduced exercise tolerance. Severe asbestosis significantly reduces quality of life and can lead to respiratory failure.
Pleural plaques and pleural thickening are non-cancerous conditions that indicate asbestos exposure. These changes to the lung lining show up on chest X-rays and CT scans, documenting that asbestos fibers reached the lungs. While not immediately dangerous themselves, these conditions indicate exposure levels sufficient to potentially cause more serious diseases.
Warning Signs for Missile Base Veterans
If you served at a missile base and experience any of these symptoms, inform your physician about potential asbestos exposure:
- Persistent shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Chronic dry cough that doesn't respond to treatment
- Chest pain or tightness, especially with deep breathing
- Unexplained fatigue or reduced exercise tolerance
- Unintentional weight loss
- Persistent wheezing or respiratory infections
- Fluid buildup around the lungs (pleural effusion)
Early detection improves treatment options. Request chest imaging and pulmonary function tests if you have documented missile base service.
Do Missile Crew Veterans Automatically Qualify for VA Disability Benefits?
Yes. Veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma receive an automatic 100% VA disability rating regardless of their specific duty assignment or whether they can prove direct asbestos exposure. The VA recognizes mesothelioma as a service-connected condition for all veterans because asbestos use was widespread throughout military facilities.[10]
The 100% disability rating provides $3,938.58 per month for single veterans or $4,158.17 per month for married veterans in 2026. These amounts increase with dependent children or parents. Veterans receive this compensation tax-free for life, with annual cost-of-living adjustments.
| Veteran Status | Monthly Compensation (2026) | Annual Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Single veteran - 100% rating | $3,938.58 | $47,262.96 |
| Veteran with spouse - 100% rating | $4,158.17 | $49,898.04 |
| Plus one child | Add $144.13 | $1,729.56 |
| Each additional child | Add $96.09 | $1,153.08 |
| Aid & Attendance benefit | Add $228.94 | $2,747.28 |
| Surviving spouse DIC | $1,699.35 | $20,392.20 |
Veterans requiring assistance with daily activities qualify for additional Aid and Attendance benefits of $228.94 monthly. This benefit helps cover costs of home health aides, nursing care, or assisted living facilities. Most mesothelioma patients eventually need this level of assistance.
Veterans with mesothelioma also receive priority access to VA healthcare, including treatment at VA medical centers, medications, and supportive care. The VA covers all treatment costs related to the service-connected condition without copayments or deductibles.[11]
Surviving family members qualify for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) of $1,699.35 monthly if the veteran's death was service-connected. This benefit continues for the spouse's lifetime (or until remarriage before age 57) and provides financial support for children until age 18 or 23 if attending school.
The veterans benefits guide provides comprehensive information on filing VA claims and maximizing available compensation for missile base veterans.
How Can Veterans Document Missile Crew Service for Compensation Claims?
Documentation is critical for both VA benefits and asbestos trust fund claims. Missile crew veterans should gather specific military records that establish their service at ICBM bases and their occupational exposure to asbestos materials.
The DD-214 discharge document lists all duty stations and dates of service. Veterans should identify all assignments to Minot AFB, Malmstrom AFB, F.E. Warren AFB, or decommissioned missile bases. Even short-term assignments or temporary duty at these installations contributes to cumulative exposure documentation.
Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) records identify specific job duties that involved asbestos exposure. Key AFSCs for missile crew members include:
- 13N - Nuclear Missile Operations Officer: Served alert duty in Launch Control Centers
- 2M0X2 - Missile and Space Systems Maintenance: Maintained missile systems and facilities
- 2M0X3 - Missile and Space Systems Electronic Maintenance: Worked on electrical and electronic systems
- 3E7X1 - Fire Protection: Responded to emergencies in missile facilities
- 3E6X1 - Utilities Systems: Maintained heating, cooling, and environmental systems
Service records documenting alert duty in Launch Control Centers establish direct exposure to the sealed underground environment. Crew scheduling records, alert logs, and performance evaluations may reference time spent in Launch Control Centers.
"The key to successful claims is documentation. Veterans need their DD-214, AFSC records, and any documentation of missile base assignments. These records establish service at facilities with documented asbestos exposure, which is often sufficient for both VA and trust fund claims."
— Larry Gates, Senior Advocate, Danziger & De Llano
Medical records should document the mesothelioma diagnosis with pathology reports, imaging studies, and physician statements. Oncologists and pulmonologists should note any history of military service and potential asbestos exposure in medical documentation.
Veterans can request military records through the National Archives or the VA. An experienced mesothelioma attorney can help identify and obtain all relevant documentation for VA and trust fund claims.
Can Missile Base Veterans File Asbestos Trust Fund Claims?
Yes. Veterans exposed to asbestos at missile bases can file claims against the 60+ asbestos trust funds holding over $30 billion in compensation. These trust funds were established by bankrupt asbestos manufacturers to compensate victims of asbestos-related diseases.[12]
Trust fund claims are separate from VA benefits. Veterans can receive full VA disability compensation and also collect trust fund payments. The two compensation systems are independent—trust fund claims do not affect VA benefits, and VA benefits do not reduce trust fund payouts.
Missile silos and Launch Control Centers used asbestos materials manufactured by major companies that later established bankruptcy trusts. Common manufacturers whose products appeared in missile facilities include:
- Johns Manville: Pipe insulation, thermal insulation products
- Owens Corning: Insulation materials, fireproofing products
- Armstrong World Industries: Acoustic ceiling tiles, insulation
- Pittsburgh Corning: Insulation blocks, thermal protection
- Celotex Corporation: Insulation materials, building products
- Combustion Engineering: Equipment insulation, boiler materials
An experienced attorney can identify all applicable trust funds based on construction records, military procurement documents, and facility specifications. Most missile base veterans qualify for claims against multiple trusts, with combined compensation typically ranging from $300,000 to $400,000 or more.
Trust fund claims require documentation of asbestos exposure at missile facilities and medical evidence of mesothelioma diagnosis. The attorney reviews military service records, identifies applicable trusts based on products used at specific installations, and files claims with all relevant funds.[13]
The asbestos trust funds guide explains the claims process and how veterans can maximize available compensation through both VA benefits and trust fund claims.
Are Missile Silos Still Operational With Legacy Asbestos Present?
Yes. All 450 Minuteman III ICBMs remain operational as of 2026, maintained by the U.S. Air Force at Minot, Malmstrom, and F.E. Warren AFBs. The Air Force continues to operate Launch Control Centers and missile silos constructed in the early 1960s with original asbestos-containing materials.
The Air Force has conducted asbestos abatement in some facilities, encapsulating or removing damaged materials where operationally feasible. However, complete asbestos removal would require extensive facility reconstruction that would compromise operational readiness. Many underground structures still contain encapsulated or undisturbed asbestos materials.[14]
Current missile crews may encounter asbestos during maintenance work, renovation projects, or emergency repairs that disturb legacy materials. The Air Force implements asbestos management programs requiring training, protective equipment, and monitoring when work might disturb asbestos-containing materials.
Ongoing modernization programs, including the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) program to replace Minuteman III with a new ICBM system, will eventually replace aging facilities. However, the transition will take decades, meaning current personnel will continue working in facilities containing legacy asbestos materials.
"The Air Force prioritizes operational readiness over complete asbestos removal, which means these facilities will contain legacy materials for decades. Current missile crews are better protected than their predecessors, but the potential for exposure remains whenever maintenance disturbs old materials."
— Larry Gates, Senior Advocate, Danziger & De Llano
Veterans who served at missile bases from the 1960s through the present should document their service and monitor their health. The long latency period for asbestos diseases means that even recent service at these installations could result in disease development decades later.
What Should Missile Base Veterans Do If They Develop Symptoms?
Veterans who served at missile bases and develop respiratory symptoms should take immediate action to protect their health and legal rights. Early medical intervention improves treatment options, and prompt claims filing preserves compensation eligibility.
First, consult a physician and specifically mention military service at a missile base with potential asbestos exposure. Request chest X-rays or CT scans to evaluate lung condition. Pulmonary function tests can detect breathing capacity reductions consistent with asbestos-related disease. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen before seeking medical evaluation.[15]
If diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, contact a mesothelioma specialist for treatment consultation. Specialized centers have more experience with these rare diseases and can offer advanced treatment options including surgery, chemotherapy, and clinical trials.
File a VA disability claim immediately upon diagnosis. The VA provides expedited processing for mesothelioma cases, recognizing the aggressive nature of the disease. Veterans should apply for 100% disability rating, Aid and Attendance benefits if needed, and VA healthcare enrollment.
Contact an experienced mesothelioma attorney to evaluate asbestos trust fund claims and potential lawsuits. Attorneys can identify all applicable trust funds, gather necessary documentation, and file claims on the veteran's behalf. Most mesothelioma attorneys work on contingency, meaning no upfront costs and fees only if compensation is recovered.
Take Action Now
If you served at a missile base and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, act now to protect your rights:
