About Us
What We Are About
This web site is dedicated to those who served in, supported and helped to maintain the missile sites of the 566th Strategic Missile Squadron. This Air Force unit was on 24-7-365 active duty from 1961 until 1965. The 566th SMS was in charge of nine SM-65 Atlas E missile bases deployed in locations all around F. E. Warren AFB in Cheyenne, Wyoming. These bases were a major nuclear deterent during the Cuban Missile Crisis. This site is meant to be a source of information related to the 566th SMS and is intended as a tribute to the hard work and sacrifices that were made in successfully carrying out a very difficult mission.
This website has been established as a source of information for those who are interested in the history of the SM-65 Atlas Missile System and the substantial impact that the program had on military and world history and events, including the Cuban Missile Crisis.
If you have any questions about the 566th SMS or you wish to contact the webmaster of this site, please feel free to contact us with your comments. If you find any problems or errors with the site, a "bug report" to the webmaster would be greatly appreciated.
