Nuclear forces at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., passed inspections with the highest possible score.

That’s a reversal from the situation two years ago, when six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles were on-loaded to a plane and mistakenly flown to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., leading to disciplinary actions against several personnel.

In the recent inspection, the Headquarters, Air Force Space Command Inspector General, team conducted a Nuclear Surety Inspection (NSI) of the 91st Missile Wing at Minot this month.

Oversight was provided by representatives from the Air Force Inspection Agency and United States Strategic Command. The wing received an overall grade of "Satisfactory," the highest possible, during the NSI and, as a result, remains certified to perform their strategic mission.

The wing also received an overall grade of "Satisfactory" on the Operational Readiness Inspection, conducted during the same timeframe.
