Although seen by some as a backwater of the US military, the missile force has returned to the spotlight as President Donald Trump has called for strengthening US nuclear firepower and exchanged threats last year with North Korea. “I felt paranoia, panic,” for hours after taking LSD, Airman 1st Class Tommy N Ashworth said under oath at his court martial. Work was there to assess progress in fixing problems in the missile force.

In March 2016, one member posted a Snapchat video of himself smoking marijuana, setting air force investigators on their trail.
