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

They were considered Tactical and the weapons were the Tactical Mods. Not that they were not important, they were. The Strategic mission was something different as well as the weapons or their Mods.
