CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — An intercontinental ballistic missile force based in southeastern Wyoming has a new commander.

Col. Catherine Barrrington took command of the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne in a ceremony Monday.

Barrington took over from Col. Peter Bonetti, who was base commander for two years.

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports Barrington began her career as a missileer at the base in 1997.

This is her third assignment to F.E. Warren, which oversees 150 Minuteman missiles in silos in Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado.
