In 1953, ARDC needed a ""missile-minded"" man to develop ICBMs. ""Actually, we didn't appoint him--'Benny' was born for the job,"" a Pentagon general said. ""There wasn't another soul we knew who could handle it, .so 'Benny' walked in and took over."" On 4 March 1957, General Schriever stated, ""Several decades from now, the important battles may not be sea battles but space battles.and we should be spending a certain fraction of our national resources to ensure that we do not lag in obtaining space supremacy.The mission is to maintain the peace."" October 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis is in full swing. Ten Minuteman I Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles are now on combat alert at Malmstrom AFB, Montana. President Kennedy referred to this new capability as his ""ace in the hole,"" a capability that helped prevent escalation of the Cuban Missile Crisis. General Schriever's vision of a solid fuel ICBM was now a reality. It had gone from program go-ahead to combat alert in just four years and eight months, the hallmark of General Schriever's organizational skills and leadership."
