BISMARCK, N.D. — The Air Force announced Thursday that two officers who worked at a missile base in North Dakota have been taken off the job while the military investigates allegations that they took home components used in underground launch control centers.
The officers were supposed to have destroyed the two devices and had signed documents stating that they had, said an Air Force spokeswoman. The Band-Aid-size devices, now obsolete, were used to detect equipment tampering.
The Air Force said one of the officers notified the military in May that he and the other officer had lied about destroying the components.
