The head of the U.S. Strategic Command has called for "serious consideration" of a return to deploying intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs, with multiple nuclear warheads. 

The U.S. Air Force's LGM-30G Minuteman III ICBMs have this capability, but operational examples are presently only loaded with one warhead due to arms control agreements with Russia.

But its successor, Sentinel ICBM could be deployed with more than one warhead.

In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why the US STRATCOM boss wants Sentinel ICBM to be armed with multiple warheads?
