Johnny Galbert got his first duty assignment at the base when he was just a second lieutenant. Then, years later, he returned as a colonel and became its commander. He oversaw 4,200 personnel and 150 Minuteman III ICBM missiles.

A group of petroglyphs in northeast Wyoming are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
