This is done after the missile is assembled but before its fueled and joined to the booster to be sure the missile will take commands from the missile tracking radar. Once the missile is "rf'd," fueled, and joined to the booster, it is then taken to the pit. Another test is when the missile is in the pit as a ready round, its functionality is checked monthly by erecting it and sending commands to it from the missile track radar. This check is called "command calibration". Courtesy of Bob Kramer Pictured from L to R: ?, ?, Capt. Grellet Tochterman, General Charles B. Duff, Lt. William Lanahan, S.SG Jake Rinier.
