O siri ike iche n'echiche ime mmemme atụmatụ agha nuklia, mana nke ahụ bụ ihe dị na ebumnuche na Hill Air Force Base, na nso Ogden, Utah Thursday ikpeazụ, Feb. 12.
N'oge mmemme inye onyinye gọọmentị, enwere ihe nrite maka "ndị na-eme ihe kacha mma" na ntọala gụnyere Otu nke Afọ, Onye ọrụ afọ ofufo nke afọ na isi di na nwunye nke afọ. Onye isi ndị isi, Col. Ron Jolly, kwuru, "Ndị Airmen ebe a na-ahụ nnukwu foto ma mara na ọ bụ… gbasara inye nkwado na Team Hill."
Kedu ihe bụ "Team Hill"? N'ebe otu nde acres na ndị ọrụ 20,000, Hill AFB na-ahụ maka idobe na ịnwale "ịkwado ntụkwasị obi" nke, tinyere ihe ndị ọzọ, mba 450 Minuteman III mba ma ọ bụ ICBMs intercontinental ballistic. Igwe rọketi 60-ụkwụ ogologo, 39-ton, na 335-kiloton nuclear warheads (chee Hiroshima, ugboro 22), nwere ike ife 6,000 ruo 7,000 kilomita tupu ịgbawa na ebumnuche nke Global Strike Command (ezigbo aha ya) họọrọ na Omaha.
Ebe nnwale “ọnọdụ nka nka” nke ugwu AFB na-eduzi ule nke “ike nuklia, nlanarị, ntụkwasị obi”…“ radieshon nuklia, mgbawa ikuku, ujo na ịma jijiji” na “ụkpụrụ ọkụ eletrik.” Ihe ndị a bụ mmetụta nke mgbawa ngwa agha nuklia, na isi na-eme ka ICBM anyị bụrụ "ihe a pụrụ ịdabere na ya" - nke dị njikere ịmalite site na bunkers gafee North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado na Nebraska.
N'okwu ngwa agha ballistic, "ịkwado ntụkwasị obi" pụtara nkwa na ọkụ ọkụ redio na-ekpuchi 40-square-miles-per-warhead nwere ike isi n'ụwa pụọ site na iji rọketi ejiri ntugharị igodo mee ihe. (Daniel Berrigan dere n'otu oge na n'Agha Ụwa nke Abụọ, ndị Germany napụtara ndị mmadụ na crematoria, na ugbu a ngwa agha na-ebu crematoria na ndị mmadụ.)
N'April 2014, ndị otu ndị agha ka na-arụ ọrụ Agha Nzuzo ha - afọ 26 ka "agha" kwụsịrị - e nyere agbamume ọhụrụ mgbe Hill AFB nyere ya "Brent Scowcroft Awards." Ha gara na ndị ọrụ na-arụsi ọrụ ike na "Mwepụta na Test Team" na ndị ọzọ na-arụ ọrụ na mmezi, ngwa agha, nnweta na ihe a na-akpọ "nkwado."
A na-akpọ ihe nrite ahụ aha Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, onye n'oge oke agha Cold War duru otu ọrụ oge Reagan nke tụrụ aro ịbawanye ego na ICBM. Kọmịshọna Scowcroft nke 1983 tụrụ aro “ike dabere na ala nwere ikike igbu egbu ngwa ngwa.”
The euphemism "ike lekwasịrị anya igbu" na-ezo aka H-bọmbụ ziri ezi zuru ezu ibibi ngwa agha mba ọzọ na bunkers tupu ewepụta ha - nuklia "mgbu mbụ." Nke a bụ ihe ogbunigwe Minuteman III nwere ike mezuo na ihe ha na-eyi ugbu a, 24/7, na isi agha Mark 12A ha. Kọmịshọna Scowcroft dụrụ ndị Air Force ọdụ ka ha mepụta ngwa ọgụ otu-agha, nke bụ kpọmkwem ihe ngwa agha anyị nke Minuteman IIIs ghọrọ.
Dị ka "ndị na-agba ụta" na-agwụ ike na saịtị ha na-agwụ ike, ndị na-agwụ ike na gburugburu Malmstrom Air Base, FE Warren Air Base na Minot AFB, Team Hill na-akwado ma na-ehichapụ ígwè ọrụ nke mbibi nuklia. Ọfịs Mmemme Sistemụ ya nke ICBM nwere ngwa agha Minuteman “ezigbo” “mwepụta akụrụngwa yana akụrụngwa mmalite njikwa”. Hill's Nuclear Weapons Center "na-etolite, nweta ma na-akwado ICBM nke silo… jikwaa spares… na-akwado sistemu ICBM dabere na silo” ma ọ na-azụta “akụkụ akụkụ, ọrụ na nrụzi” maka mmemme na ngwa agha “Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM).
Afọ abụọ gara aga, Hill nyere ụlọ ọrụ Cincinnati nkwekọrịta nde $90 iji wuo gwongworo ọhụrụ maka ibu nnukwu ICBMs. Ụgbọala ahụ, nke a na-akpọ "transporter erector," na-arụnye ma na-ebuga rọketi. Dị ka Air Base si kwuo, ọ "ga-eje ozi Minuteman III ICBM site na 2035."
Ma gịnị banyere “ụwa nke ngwá agha nuklia na-adịghị na ya”? Nwoke kachasị ike enweghị ike imechi obere ụlọ ntaramahụhụ dị n'ikpere mmiri na Guantanamo. Ọbụna ihe ịma aka - obere belata - mmefu ego agha nuklia puku ijeri dollar, Prez ga-achọ nnukwu nnupụisi mgbochi nuke na enweghị ụjọ nke MLK.
Ka ọ dị ugbu a, ndị ọrụ ụlọ ọrụ, ndị na-eje ozi na ndị na-akwado ndị na-eme atụmatụ ma na-eme ihe a na-apụghị ịkọwa akọwa bụ ndị enweghị uche, na-adọpụ uche ma ọ bụ na-akpachapụ anya, na na Team Hill's February 12 gala, "ndị isi obodo a ma ama na ndị ọbịa pụrụ iche nyere onyinye a." Otu onye isi otu kọmitii ihe omume kwuru, "Anyị chọrọ n'ezie ka ndị a họpụtara n'ọsọ anyị ga-adị ka ndị a ma ama." Ọfịs Ọha na-ahụ maka Ọha na-anya isi maka “ebe a na-adọba ụgbọala valet, ajụjụ ọnụ na ‘kapeeti uhie,’ hors d’oeuvres, eriri quartet na ịgba egwu.”
Ọ bụ oge gara aga ikweta omume a na-emebi emebi na ịkpọsa otu agha nuklia agwụla. Ajụjụ a abụghị ole ndị mmụọ ozi nwere ike ịgba egwu n'isi ntụtụ, mana ole "ndị di na nwunye bụ isi" nwere ike waltz n'elu 450 ICBM eburu.
