     SOFT - Missile emplaced and launched from exposed launcher above ground (e.g., Gantry-type; er Test Pad).
     SEMI-HARD - Missile emplaced in protective ground-level concrete housing prior to launch (see Coffin Type below).
     HARD - Missile emplaced in protective concrete housing underground prior to launch (see Silo and Silo-Lift below).
     SILO - Protective vertical tube-type housing from which missile is launched from its emplaced position (Minuteman and Titan II).
     SILO-LIFT - Missile is stored in silo, but is elevated clear of the tube for above ground launching (Atlas F and Titan I).
     COFFIN-TYPE - Completely enclosed horizontal storage from which missile is raised to exposed vertical launch position (Atlas D and E).
     STRIPPED - All recoverable materiel sold and removed under civilian contract, or retained by USAF but transferred to other activities.
