DIRECT SUPPORT MISSION TO THE 390TH SMW, 570TH SMS, 571ST SMS, 390TH MIMS. THE 37TH ARRS ALSO SUPPORTED
THE 381ST SMW AND 308TH SMW
Welcome to TITAN-II.COM. This web site is dedicated to the men and women of the United States Air Force that served within the TITAN II system. Especially those that gave their lives in that endeavor. The TITAN II was the largest Intercontinental ballistic missile in USAF inventory and remained on ALERT from 1962-1987. Atop the missile sat the massive Mark 6 warhead. The TITAN II measured 110 feet in length and 10 feet in diameter, utilized in excess of 200,000 lbs of two part hypergolic propellant and produced 530,000 lbs of thrust. The TITAN II held a target range of 5,500 miles. The 390th Strategic Missile Wing (Davis-Monthan AFB), the 381st Strategic Missile Wing (McConnell AFB) and the 308th Strategic Missile Wing (Little Rock AFB) were each charged to maintain and be prepared to launch TITAN II ICBMs on lawful order. Each of the three wings beared 18 missiles, totalling 54.
TITAN-II.COM is a collection of the uniform patches and other associated items proudly worn by those who worked with the TITAN II.
It is my hope that those who were un familar with the TITAN II , before visiting this web site, learn something. Those who were involved with the TITAN II, remember .
Enjoy your visit.
SEMPER TITAN,

PROPELLANT TRANSFER SYSTEMS
COMMEMORATIVE
THE TITAN II ICBM UTILIZED ON-BOARD LIQUID PROPELLANTS.
UNSYMMETRICAL DIMETHYL HYDRAZINE (FUEL) AND NITROGEN TETROXIDE (OXIDIZER).
THESE WERE HYPERGOLIC (EXPLODE ON CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER)
THESE TWO COMPONENTS WERE VERY CORROSIVE AS WELL. ANYTIME THE MISSILE LEAKED OR REQUIRED MAINTENANCE, THE FUEL AND OXIDIZER WOULD HAVE TO BE DOWN-LOADEDTHROUGH A PUMPING SYSTEM TO HOLDING TRAILERS TOPSIDE. THE PROCESS WOULD THEN BE REVERSED TO PLACE THE MISSILE ON ALERT. THE RFHCO (ROCKET FUEL HANDLERS COVERALL OUTFIT) WAS NECESSARY DUE TO THE PROPELLANTS HAZARDOUS NATURE. PTS CREWS WERE PAID HAZARDOUS DUTY PAY FOR THIER WORK.
