Col. James Rodriguez, Sentinel program infrastructure and deployment division director, speaks about the Sentinel program to a Lewistown resident during a town hall Sept. 4, 2024, in Lewistown, Mont. The Department of the Air Force’s land-based nuclear forces can credibly hold a wide range of global targets at risk, complicate adversaries’ decision calculus and deny adversaries the ability to preemptively destroy our nation’s nuclear arsenal by providing a geographically dispersed, diversified force and ensuring a second-strike capability. The Sentinel system will extend this capability through 2075. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Mary Bowers)
