I never studied this in high school. In fact I've never heard of it until yesterday. Was this the largest group of missiles developed for the cold war?
Also, was the peacekeeper in the news years ago?

"The LGM-118A Peacekeeper was a land-based ICBM deployed by the United States starting in 1986. Under the START II treaty, which the U.S. had never ratified and from which Russia formally withdrew on June 14, 2002, the missile was to be removed from the US nuclear arsenal in 2005, leaving the LGM-30 Minuteman as the only type of land-based ICBM in the US arsenal. In spite of the demise of START II, the last of the LGM-118A "Peacekeeper" ICBMs were decommisioned on September 19, 2005."
