In the 1970/80's copious amounts of taxpayers money in the US was wasted in trying to determine the best way to base the new M-X missile aka "Peacekeeper"

Various ways where looked at until less than a 100 missiles where based in Minuteman silos.

What if, all the Minuteman missiles where replaced by Peacekeeper's on TEL's making them mobile?

Not only that, all the US Navy's SLBM's where replaced on a one for one basis, also with mobile Peacekeepers?

Plus all the missiles where to be organised into a new military command separate from the USAF & US Navy called for US Rocket Forces to avoid any Navy view of having their missiles taken away and given to the Air Force.

Would this work?

Would this cost more or less than the current set up?

Would there need to be an increase in manpower for this to happen?
