ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- Crews from the 97th Air Mobility Wing here and the 60th AMW at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., load a semitrailer carrying humanitarian cargo into a C-5 Galaxy for delivery to a forward-deployed location supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. With clearance coming as close as 4 inches at one point, the trailer took about five hours to load using a Minuteman Missile ramp. The C-5 is assigned to the 60th AMW.

By saying: "using a Minuteman Missile ramp", where were the Minutemans suppose to be loaded ?
