ABM silos all operational: Boeing

WASHINGTON, March 30 (UPI) -- Exceptionally heavy rainfall last June did not harm ABM missile silos in Alaska, Boeing said in a statement Thursday.

"Last June, Ft. Greely experienced unusually harsh weather conditions

that resulted in over 6 inches of rainfall. A portion of the

construction site at Ft. Greely was affected but the current inventory

of missile silos available to be put on alert, if required, remains

intact and unharmed," Boeing said.

"Boeing proudly stands behind its work in support of our nation's missile defense shield. We continue to deliver exceptional capabilities due to the hard work and dedication of our people and of our suppliers and subcontractors," the company said.
