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 purpose of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) is to analyze the impacts of implementing actions and their alternatives, and to develop appropriate mitigation measures.
