Its time to reactivate SAC.SAC never would have allowed that to happen.That’s one of the reasons why I never could understand the DOD’s reasoning to get rid of a dedicated nuclear attack force and combine it into what is Now called the Air Combat Command.

Air Combat Command knew nothing about the Strategic Mission.It was previously known as the Tactical Air Command.

you may thank none other than GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH

On 1 June 1992, Strategic Air Command passed into the history books,

(the installation list at this link shows the coordination that was so critical in SAC.....even if it is incomplete for security reasons)

Excuse me, TAC controlled and manned Victor alert pads all over the world during the Cold War with fighters such as , Europe's Nuke workhorse the F-100D Super Saber, F-105, and F-4 aircraft. I know, I loaded them. And I still think this story stinks.
