1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,462 since World War two , the United States 3 00:00:12,462 --> 00:00:14,710 has maintained a safe , secure and 4 00:00:14,710 --> 00:00:16,980 effective nuclear triad . The land 5 00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:18,869 based leg of the triad has been a 6 00:00:18,869 --> 00:00:20,869 stabilizing force top cover for the 7 00:00:20,869 --> 00:00:22,870 United States and our global allies 8 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,490 Ever since . Through the history of 9 00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:27,740 intercontinental ballistic missiles or 10 00:00:27,740 --> 00:00:30,410 I C B M . S . The Air Force has focused 11 00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:33,470 on weapons system improvements On alert 12 00:00:33,470 --> 00:00:37,170 since 1959 . The first ICBM . The 13 00:00:37,180 --> 00:00:39,900 Atlas missile was developed to respond 14 00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:43,160 to adversary aggression . The Titan one 15 00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:44,938 and 2 were the first multistage 16 00:00:44,938 --> 00:00:46,882 missiles that could strike targets 17 00:00:46,882 --> 00:00:49,840 outside the atlas range offered twice 18 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,500 the payload capacity of previous iCBms 19 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,184 And the Titan two was the first to 20 00:00:55,184 --> 00:00:58,540 launch from a silo . The Minuteman 21 00:00:58,540 --> 00:01:00,373 missile was built on strength of 22 00:01:00,373 --> 00:01:02,830 previous I C B M .
