The Latin motto of the 625th STOS is Si vis pacem para bellum, which means, "If you wish for peace, prepare for war."

Flying as integral members of the ABNCP battle staff, the ALCS crew, using on-board equipment, provides a survivable means to launch the Nation's LGM-30G Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) force.

Additionally, the flight produces the targeting for all ICBM test launches, support Air Force Global Strike Command software tests, and develops, documents, verifies and maintains targeting software programs and operating procedures required for daily ICBM alert operations.

The team oversees flight performance analysis and capability assessments of U.S. and foreign ballistic missile weapon systems.
