Draft Environmental Impact Statement. MX Deployment Area Selection & Land Withdrawal/Acquisition. Volume I. Program Overview.

Abstract

Soviet missiles developments are making our land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) increasingly vulnerable. To improve deterrence against hostile actions against the United States, the U.S. Air Force proposes to deploy 200 mobile M-X missiles in a survivable multiple protective shelter (MPS) basing mode. The system will include two operating bases, 4600 shelters, approximately 8,500 miles of roads, and related support facilities, operated and maintained by about 13,000 people.
