F.E. Warren AFB Opens $140 Million Helicopter Operations Facility
The new $140 million facility at F.E. Warren AFB enhances the 90th Missile Wing's nuclear deterrence capabilities. Transitioning to the MH-139A Gray Wolf, the base improves its operational readiness and modernizes its infrastructure for aircrew training and maintenance.

F.E. Warren Air Force Base has inaugurated a $140 million helicopter and Tactical Response Force operations facility, crucial for the 90th Missile Wing's nuclear deterrence mission. This facility supports the transition from the UH-1N Huey helicopters to the MH-139A Gray Wolf, which has modern maintenance requirements and is larger than the Huey.
Construction began on March 31, 2023, after the project team formed in late 2022, and approximately 200 workers were involved at peak times. The project achieved a safety record of 1,376 days without a lost-time injury. This facility is designed to enhance operational capabilities, ensuring aircrews and defenders are always ready.
