Book Description

The Air Force plans to deploy the Peacekeeper Missile System within the 90th Strategic Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base (AFB) near Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Peacekeeper system is an advanced, land-based intercontinental ballistic missile system designed to improve the nation's strategic deterrent force. Land-based strategic missiles are an integral part of the United States' nuclear deterrence strategy. Air, sea, and land-based weapons form a TRIAD of strategic forces, each with different capabilities and advantages to complicate Soviet offensive and defensive planning. The TRIAD also provides a hedge against technical problems that could temporarily disable a system and against technological breakthroughs or a rapid evolution of threats that might erode the survivability of one or more parts of our strategic forces. The 1983 Defense Appropriations Act exempted the President's report and proposals from the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The purpose of this environmental impact statement is not to review those prior decisions, but to analyze the impacts of implementing actions and their alternatives, including development of mitigation measures.

Book Description

The President has directed that the Air Force deploy the Peacekeeper missile system at a location near F.E. Warren Air Force Base (hereafter F.E. Warren AFB), close to Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Peacekeeper system (formerly known as the M-X system) is an advanced, land-based intercontinental ballistic missile. The plan calls for the replacement of 100 existing Minuteman III missiles with 100 Peacekeeper missiles. Existing missile silos will be used, and there will be very little structural modification needed. Missile replacement will occur within the two squadrons (of 50 missiles each) located nearest F.E. Warren AFB, the 319th and 400th Strategic Missile Squadrons. Peacekeeper deployment will occur between 1984 and 1989. An environmental impact statement (EIS) was prepared for the Proposed Action as outlined above. Information contained in the EIS is based upon environmental information and analysis developed and reported in a series of 13 final environmental planning technical reports (EPTRs). This volume is one the Jurisdictional report.
