The website, “Wired” is reporting that Malmstrom AFB had some deficiencies in several areas during a recent Nuclear Surety Inspection (NSI) and Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI) and that a return inspection is needed.

According to the STORY: AFSPC [Air Force Space Command] is ensuring experienced instructors augment the wing’s aggressive plan to address the root causes of these deficiencies. The AFSPC IG [Inspector General] will return to inspect appropriate aspects of the 341st Missile Wing within 90 days in accordance with established Department of Defense and Air Force guidance.

This is not good news if it’s true. The Air Force has been having some problems recently and did not need more negative publicity.

According to this STORY from Malmstrom’s Public Affairs Office, the base was having a NSI/ORI inspection recently.
