First Lt. Paul Lee, 321st Missile Squadron missile combat crew commander, prepares to perform a simulated key turn of the Minuteman III weapon system during a Simulated Electronic Launch-Minuteman test inside the launch control center at a missile alert facility in the 90th Missile Wing's missile complex, Neb., April 11, 2017. During a SELM, the missileers in the LCC are responsible for sending commands to the Minuteman III ICBMs in the launch facility. A successful SELM test proves the ICBM weapon system's effectiveness in a safe and secure manner.
