From the article:
The Minot Air Force Base that Mattis will visit was on 35 years of continuous alert before dropping off the status following the conclusion of the "Cold War" in Sept. 1991, according to the base's website.
***
I retired from the AF in September 1991. Minot was my last duty station working for the 91st Strategic Missile Wing. They knew they couldn’t maintain a 99.9% strategic alert rate without me being around. :)
