A Malmstrom Air Force Base missile maintenance team removes the upper section of an intercontinental ballistic missile at a Montana missile site. The section was picked at random for a "glory trip," or a test launch, at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., in August 2014. The launch allows Malmstrom and Vandenberg AFB officials to observe a launch to gather data on the weapon system's performance, accuracy and reliability. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman John Parie)
