Default Minuteman III ICBM roll

I notice that MMIII missiles launched from Vandenberg will make a
couple of roll maneuvers as they shape their trajectory out ofver the
Pacific. Are these done for the sake of optimizing the communications/
telemetry links, or is there another reason? Assuming there were ever
launches from oeprational silos, would those have a reason to do any
rolling?

Thanks
