The Air Force is dramatically scaling back its plans for the MH-139 Grey Wolf helicopter, cutting its projected fleet from 80 to 42 aircraft and reducing the number of bases that will host the new chopper.

To accomplish such a reduction, the Air Force has decided to only field the MH-139 at its three ICBM bases:
- F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo.
- Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont.
- Minot Air Force Base, N.D.
All three bases will still get their originally planned 11 helicopters, added the spokeswoman. Malmstrom just recently received its first MH-139, welcoming the Grey Wolf on March 9. It is slated to receive its full complement by the summer of 2025.
