Sorta, kinda right...I was a part of the Command structure for the stand-down of SAC and the stand-up of USSTRATCOM. SAC, MAC and TAC (along with other MAJCOMS) went away and SAC assets were transferred to some of the newly created MAJCOMS, i.e the aircraft on missiles - - while the warheads and their missions stayed under the control of USSTRATCOM.

Interesting days back then.

PS: the writer of the article should have done a better job. But that just seems typical now days.

I was referring to the original Strategic Air Command, established in 1946. It was Gen. Curtis E. LeMay's SAC and the Strategic Air Command depicted in the Hollywood movie starring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson in 1955. At that time, SAC was into the the era of the B-52 but it was the B-47 that was the featured SAC bomber in the movie.
