Mascots were a vexing concern to Air Force Space Command in 1994 as organizers planned the inaugural Guardian Challenge Space and Missile Competition at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Missile wings had recently been transferred to AFSPC after a single yet final Olympic Arena missile competition hosted by Air Combat Command. “The space wings don’t have mascots here, and there was some debate on whether or not missileers could keep theirs” according to the official GC newsletter that year, noting that the tradition prevailed. The missile wing mascots pictured (clockwise, from bottom left) are Whiteman AFB’s War Chief, Grand Forks’ Warrior of the North, Malmstrom AFB’s High Plains Warrior, and Minot AFB’s Teddy Roosevelt. Not shown is F.E. Warren AFB’s Wrangler. (Photo courtesy of the Malmstrom Air Force Base Museum)

Peter Woelkers, 12th Missile Squadron, right, leads the 341st Missile Wing in a cheer at an Air Force Space Command Guardian Challenge 1997 Space and Missile Competition rally at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. Mascots also acted as their team’s bus driver during competitions at Vandenberg AFB, Calif. Woelkers, a Lewis and Clark expedition living history interpreter, wore his own gear and clothing to give the High Plains Warrior an authentic frontier look.

The High Plains Warrior, Team Malmstrom’s mascot for Guardian Challenge 1999, Staff Sgt. Kevin Barber, 341st Logistics Support Squadron, leads the team in a cheer on the flight line at Vandenberg AFB, Calif. The 341st Space Wing won the Blanchard Trophy for Best ICBM Wing in 1998, the year the Blanchard was restored as a wing-level trophy after Air Force Space Command reduced it to a squadron trophy in 1994, and won it again in 1999 to become the first space wing to earn the Blanchard two consecutive years at AFSPC’s Guardian Challenge Space and Missile Competition. The mascot’s fur cap was still part of his identity in 2002 when the 341st SW again won the Blanchard. (Photo courtesy of 341st MW Historian Office)

Davis, commander-in-chief of Strategic Air Command, at the 1985 SAC Missile Combat Competition at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Malmstrom Air Force Base’s team was called “The Wranglers, “The First Aces” and “The Ace in the Hole Gang” that year. The other mascots represent 321st SMW, Grand Forks AFB, N.D.; 351st SMW, Whiteman AFB, Mo.; 381st SMW, McConnell AFB, Kan.; 308th SMW, Little Rock AFB, Ark.; 44th SMW, Ellsworth AFB, S.D.; 90th SMW, F.E.
