A new command all because they eff'd up at Minot. And I'll bet you a particular Colonel that I know some how was involved in the screw up. An idiot. He so happened to retire about 45 days before it all became public.

The US Air Force (USAF) stood up its new Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) during a ceremony at Barksdale Air Force Base (AFB) in Louisiana on 7 August.
The newly formed AFGSC will bring together the air force's nuclear-capable assets under a single command for the first time since the Strategic Air Command (SAC) was disbanded with the end of the Cold War in 1992.
"The command will bring together our strategic nuclear forces under a single commander, and will provide combatant commanders with the forces to conduct strategic nuclear deterrence and global strike operations through intercontinental ballistic missiles [ICBM], B-2 [Spirit] and B-52 [Stratofortress] operations," USAF Secretary Michael B Donley said.
