CHEYENNE , Wyo., March 18 (UPI) -- More than a dozen Air Force airmen are under investigation for off-duty "illegal drug activity" at the Wyoming nuclear missile base they protect, the latest in a series of scandals to rock the Air Force's intercontinental ballistic missile program.
Gen. Robin Rand, leader of the Air Force's Global Strike Command, said there are "credible" allegations the 14 airmen at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, ranging in rank from airman to airman first class, were involved in illegal activity. Rand would not provide further details about the investigation. The airmen have been removed from duty during the investigation.
