While browsing the web for pictures of new DODX loads and additional pictures of DODX equipment, I stumbled upon the following three pictures of a very strange USAF trailer on a flatcar.

Do any of you know what this trailer is and what its purpose is?

Since I don’t think I could find something like this in 1/72 or build it from scratch, I’m mostly asking out of curiosity but, then again, it might be available or my skills might be better in the future…

Not sure of its specific nomenclature, but its the trailer for carrying minuteman missiles and placing them in their silos.
