In this episode, we delve into the Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex, a pivotal element of the U.S. Army's anti-ballistic missile program during the Cold War. This complex, located in Nekoma, North Dakota, was designed to protect the Air Force’s Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile silos. Despite being one of 12 planned Safeguard systems, it was the only one ever completed. Join host Mike Droberg as we explore the intricacies and historical significance of this forgotten piece of American defense history.
