Complexes 31 and 32

During the last half of 1959 and the first half of 1960 these complexes were built to support testing of the Air Force's MINUTEMAN missile system. Each of the complexes had two pads. Pad A on each was a flat pad and pad B was a ballistic missile silo. By the time they were deactivated in December 1973, a total of 92 MINUTEMAN I, II, and III missiles had been launched from these complexes. The US Army used pad 31A briefly during 1973 to support follow-on testing of the PERSHING IA. A total of twelve PERSHING IA launch vehicle's were launched by active duty units during a two month period. These Complexes are now inactive.
