The 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base has been named the Omaha Trophy winner again.

Gen. Anthony Cotton, commander of U.S. Strategic Command, announced the 2023 Omaha Trophy recipients on Feb. 15.

The Omaha Trophy is the highest honor bestowed upon a nuclear enterprise unit by a civilian organization.

The award was created in 1971 by the Strategic Air Command Consultation Committee and awarded to the command’s best wing. The SCC, an advisory group of Omaha business leaders, later became the Strategic Command Consultation Committee after the current USSTRATCOM’s activation in 1992.

In 2020, the committee made a change and now the Omaha Trophy is awarded to military units with intercontinental ballistic missiles, ballistic missile submarines, strategic bombers, and strategic space and information operations.
