5 MOTTO EXEMPLUM PROFERIMUS--We serve as an example NICKNAME OPERATIONS Replaced 703d SMW (ICBM-Titan) in Jul First wing missile complex accepted 18 Apr All wing missiles off alert status on 26 Mar 1965, and wing phased down for inactivation The wheels began rolling to bring Titan missiles to Lowry in 1959, when bids were accepted in May to construct the underground sites on the unused Lowry bombing range. Construction began in June. The six sites, each comprising three missiles silos with their associated equipment and ancillary structures, were placed in a rough triangle approximately 170 miles around, east and south of Lowry AFB and Buckley Field. Command and support functions for the sites were physically located at Lowry. Construction of the sites, including access roads, drilling of water wells at each of the six locations, power houses, etc., cost approximately $70 million, and was scheduled for completion on or before 1 November The silos themselves were technologically unique in construction. Each was 160 feet deep, 40 feet in diameter, and had walls two feet thick. All had foundations eight feet thick and all were of reinforced concrete throughout. The missile silo doors (two door halves) weighed 180 tons per silo, were poured in place, and operated hydraulically. Initially, the 703d Strategic Missile Wing had been activated at Lowry (in 1958), becoming the first Titan Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Wing in the USAF. Of course, it had none of the big missiles assigned, being responsible for the construction of the sites. Actual coordination for the construction was accomplished by the Lowry Site Activation Task Force (SATAF), basically an Air Force management team. The SATAF was responsible to insure that the construction of facilities, the installation and checkout of the weapon system, and the turnover of completed, operational Titan missile launching and support functions to Strategic Air Command were accomplished properly. Before it became fully operational, the 703d was redesignated the 451st Strategic Missile Wing on 1 July 1961 in accordance with plans to preserve unit designations of Air Force units having outstanding combat records and histories. The first missile was em-placed in a silo in April 1961, and the 451st announced in July that it was "up and breathing" at Lowry. It took another eight months, March 1962, before the last of the 18 Titans were in place and the wing considered fully operational. The big missiles, manufactured in Colorado by the Martin-Marietta Company, remained on strategic alert at Lowry for the next two years. In November 1964 officials announced that the missiles were going to leave Lowry, the phase-out to

6 be completed by spring of On 14 April 1965, the last of the Titans was removed from the complex. Lowry was left with several large, expensive holes in the ground when the development of the Minuteman ICBM signaled the death knell for the more vulnerable Titan, and SAC moved on. The 451st Expeditionary Group at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, inactivated two squadrons as part of its transition from a large unit involved in combat operations to a smaller organization supporting the mission of training, assisting, and advising Afghan forces, according to a unit release. The 451st Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron and 451st Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron stood down in ceremonies on May 3. "On this date in 2002, we established the 451st AEG to control the air over southern Afghanistan," said Col. Rhude Cherry, 451st AEG commander, on May 3 "Over the course of time, we expanded to become a wing, and then last year back to being a group," he added in the May 21 release. The group's maintenance role now resides with the 62nd Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, which operates MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft. The group's logistics tasks realigned under the 451st Expeditionary Support Squadron, states the release Air Force Order of Battle Created: 26 Aug 2011 Updated: Sources Air Force Historical Research Agency.
