This list is both overinclusive (it lists squadrons that were not assigned to missile wings) and underinclusive (it does not list either the 700 series wings nor the MAJCON wings in the 4000-4400 block of numbers).-- Lineagegeek ( talk) 15:45, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
unreferenced, unencyclopedic language and full of repeat wiki links.-- Wuerzele ( talk) 04:15, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
I removed the following sentence, which was added a day ago:
The number of missiles controlled is generally true for today's Minuteman missile wings, but the article is about wings assigned to Strategic Air Command, not today's wings. That number varies from 0 to 200 (early missiles were not installed in silos) and includes Snark, Titan and Atlas missiles. Particularly in view of the remainer of the quote, I doubt this web site can be regarded as a reliable source. I know of no missile wing that had more than 4 operational squadrons. (see Ravenstein, Charles A. (1984). Air Force Combat Wings, Lineage & Honors Histories 1947-1977 (PDF). Washington, DC: Office of Air Force History. ISBN 0-912799-12-9. Retrieved December 17, 2016. for Strategic Missile Wings and their operational components). Even if the maintenance squadrons and the squadrons assigned to the wing's combat support group (if it had one), and the few wings with missile security groups were added on (and none of those "controll[ed] 10 silos") it would be hard to get over 12 squadrons in the largest wing. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 17:07, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Dear Lineagegeek can this page have its scope widened properly to all Strategic Missile Wings to avoid the USAF acronym in the title, with a move something like "List of Strategic Missile Wings of the United States Air Force?" Buckshot06 (talk) 03:28, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
On the other hand, if we list all missile wings, I think comments on both the move and style are called for:

I have nominated List of USAF Troop Carrier Wings assigned to Strategic Air Command and List of USAF Air Base Wings assigned to Strategic Air Command for deletion. Not only are the redirects inappropriate, they contain either no units or one unit meeting the criteria, which hardly maes a list. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 00:20, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
