446th Missile Squadron, Former missile operations unit at Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota, US
The 446th Missile Squadron operated LGM-30G Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles as part of the United States nuclear deterrence strategy at Grand Forks AFB.
Initially established as a bombardment squadron in 1942, the unit conducted combat missions across North Africa and Europe during World War II until April 1945.
The military unit adopted the Latin motto 'Semper Summatum', meaning 'Always the Highest', reflecting its commitment to excellence in both air and missile operations.
Research materials about the squadron's operations are available through Air Force historical archives and military documentation centers at former operational bases.
The squadron earned two Distinguished Unit Citations for military actions over Athens, Greece, and Toulon, France during its World War II service in 1944.
