On 3 January 1990, SAC re-designated the 812th Combat Support Group as the 812th Strategic Support Wing (812 SSW), which, for a short time, became Ellsworth's fourth wing. The 812 SSW consolidated all combat support activities into one organization. On 31 July 1990, SAC replaced the 12th Air Division with the Strategic Warfare Center (SWC), which provided operational command and administrative control over Ellsworth's subordinate units.

After less than a year under the new command, the 28th's mission changed from that of strategic bombardment to one of worldwide conventional munitions delivery. The mission of the 99th Tactics and Training Wing (later to become the 99th Wing) also continued, albeit slightly modified to fit the requirements of the new force concept. </p><p>The 44th Missile Wing, however, had ably accomplished its deterrence mission.

Under conditions of the <a href="/wiki/START_I" title="START I">Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty</a>, all of the 44th Missile Wing's Minuteman silos and launch control centers were slated for demolition with the exception of Sites Delta-01 and Delta-09.

The year also saw the inactivation of one of Ellsworth's oldest units, the 77th Bomb Squadron. While the unit (as an administrative entity) departed to save USAF dollars for development of new follow-on B-1 munitions, the organization's aircraft remained at Ellsworth (in a flying reserve status) under the able care of its sister unit, the 37th Bomb Squadron. </p><p>In early 1996 on 26 March, an announcement was made that the 77th Bomb Squadron would soon return to Ellsworth. On 1 April, the squadron again activated at Ellsworth as the geographically separated 34th Bomb Squadron completed its transfer to its new home with the <a href="/wiki/366th_Fighter_Wing" title="366th Fighter Wing">366th Wing</a> at <a href="/wiki/Mountain_Home_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Mountain Home AFB">Mountain Home AFB</a>, <a href="/wiki/Idaho" title="Idaho">Idaho</a>. By June 1998, the 77th had six of its B-1Bs out of the reconstitution reserve. This number balanced those lost by the 34th BS. </p><p>In March 1999, the USAF announced a reorganization plan that makes Ellsworth AFB and the 28 BW partners in the new Expeditionary Air Force (EAF) concept, now known as the Air & Space Expeditionary Force (AEF). The 28 BW was named a lead wing in the EAF, which enabled the 77 BS to gain six additional B-1Bs, and Ellsworth AFB to gain about 100 additional military personnel. The expeditionary force construct enables the USAF to respond quickly to any worldwide crisis while making life more predictable for military members. </p><p>The summer of 2007 marked the last time that Ellsworth hosted a college/university level <a href="/wiki/Air_Force_Reserve_Officer_Training_Corps" title="Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps">Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps</a> Field Training (FT) encampment.

Site "A" is still fenced, with all the missile silos capped and in place. Most of the concrete roads remain, along with what remains of the launch control blockhouse and several axillary buildings. Site "B" is in similar condition, abandoned with prairie grass in a very remote location. Site "C" also has the three missile silos capped, but much of the concrete has been removed and appears to be part of a grazing rangeland, the outlines of the missile site still very visible in aerial imagery. </p><p>Most Minuteman Launch Control Facilities appear to be still in federal government ownership, as after fifteen or more years of inactivation, all are standing but abandoned; the buildings still standing within the locked security fence. Some are used by farmers seemingly. The missile launch sites (again, with the exception of D-09) are all in private ownership, most being used for agricultural use, the remainder abandoned and returning to a natural state. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Role_and_operations">Role and operations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ellsworth_Air_Force_Base&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Role and operations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Defense.gov_photo_essay_091029-F-4583H-777.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Defense.gov_photo_essay_091029-F-4583H-777.jpg/220px-Defense.gov_photo_essay_091029-F-4583H-777.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Defense.gov_photo_essay_091029-F-4583H-777.jpg/330px-Defense.gov_photo_essay_091029-F-4583H-777.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Defense.gov_photo_essay_091029-F-4583H-777.jpg/440px-Defense.gov_photo_essay_091029-F-4583H-777.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2100" data-file-height="1397" /></a><figcaption>The first big snowfall of the winter season collects on B-1B Lancers at the Ellsworth AFB flight-line during October 2009.</figcaption></figure> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/28th_Bomb_Wing" title="28th Bomb Wing">28th Bomb Wing</a> (Host unit)</li></ul> <dl><dd>The Wing commander’s staff consists of a vice commander, an executive officer, a secretary, a director of staff, a wing inspector general, a command chief-master sergeant, a historian, information management, protocol, public affairs, legal, chapel, military equal opportunity, wing plans, treaty compliance, safety, honor guard, the 28th Comptroller Contracting Squadron and a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator.</dd> <dd>The wing is divided into the 28th Operations Group, the 28th Maintenance Group, the 28th Mission Support Group, and the 28th Medical Group.</dd></dl> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/28th_Operations_Group" title="28th Operations Group">28th Operations Group</a></li></ul> <dl><dd>Provides B-1 aircraft and crews to support Joint Chiefs of Staff taskings, including conventional theater operations and power projection.
