509th Missile Squadron, Air Force missile squadron at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, United States.
The 509th Missile Squadron managed fifty LGM-30F Minuteman II intercontinental ballistic missiles as part of the United States nuclear deterrence force.
From 1943 to 1944, before becoming a missile squadron, the unit completed 54 consecutive bombing missions in Europe without losing any aircraft.
Personnel maintained constant readiness through rigorous training protocols and coordinated operations with multiple military branches to ensure national defense capabilities.
The squadron operated from specialized underground facilities across Missouri, maintaining continuous alert status for immediate response to military commands.
The unit transitioned from a World War II bomber squadron to a nuclear missile force, marking a fundamental shift in military strategy during the Cold War.
