From Missile Launch Officer to Historian: The Impact of Rob Young’s Service
Robert Young details the history surrounding the Minuteman II (deactivated) and its successor, the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles to U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology students during a guided tour at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, Jan. 16, 2025. Despite the Minuteman III being approximately 300 percent more accurate than its predecessor Young takes a certain pride in the Minuteman II because he started his U.S. Air Force career as a Minuteman II Missile Launch Officer.
