Airmen at nuclear base probed for alleged drug use

The Air Force is reportedly investigating around a dozen airmen at a nuclear missile base for allegedly using illegal drugs, reportedly involving cocaine.

 

Defense officials say the airmen are mostly or entirely from a security force at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, according to The Associated Press.

 

Those under investigation have been suspended from their duties as their individual cases are investigated, officials told the AP report.

 

The report indicated that the Air Force was expected to announce the investigation on Friday.
