==Original deployment plan== Plans were made in the late 1960s to deploy Safeguard systems in three locations, [[Whiteman Air Force Base|Whiteman AFB]], Missouri, [[Malmstrom Air Force Base|Malmstrom AFB]], Montana, and [[Grand Forks Air Force Base|Grand Forks AFB]], North Dakota, to protect important strategic weapons assets. However the Whiteman AFB location was canceled despite the fact that specific missile and radar site locations had already been selected. Construction was actually commenced at the North Dakota and Montana sites, but only the North Dakota site was completed. Remnants of the incomplete PAR system still remain in rural Montana.<ref name="srmsc-mnt">{{cite web|last1=Novak|first1=David|title=Safeguard Montana Complex (Malmstrom AFB)|url=http://srmsc.org/mnt0000.html|website=srmsc.org|accessdate=19 November 2016}} Nb: Includes photos and cites James H.
