Missiles and icebergs?

Fort Greely, Alaska, has become the newest edition to the outposts of America's missile defense system. Members of the 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard were chosen to help field test the missiles. This frigid outpost is where progress on the missile system is said to be the most evident. Interceptor missiles are installed in underground silos, buried deep beneath the snow. Interestingly, when North Korea warned that it planned to fire a missile this summer, Fort Greely was put on alert status and was ready to respond if the situation required so. Alaska has been crucial to American military interests since way before it became a recognized state in 1959.

Another place that had been the site of a missile defense system was Cuba, back during the late 1950s - early 1960s. Cuba, however, attempted to conceal their missiles to use against the U.S. Although the two situations varied slightly, both places were homes to missile systems.
