Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)

Video 8. Missileers by BBC (2000) Source.

Documentary about American ICBM crews working on the Francis. E. Warren Air Force Base. Wiki mentions that there are 3 main sites in the USA, and plainshumanities.unl.edu/encyclopedia/doc/egp.ii.042 suggests all/most of them are in the Great Plains area. They operate a Minuteman system, which as of 2021 is the only nuclear ICBM system in the USA.

Good documentary, shows well the day-to-day life of the operator, including outside of the work site.
