Once upon a time, when a GI was facing Civil Court action, his tickets were suspended and he was reassigned until the matter was resolved.
But that was in the days when SAC had a dozed different policies that would have prohibitied nukes from getting loaded on a transport by mistake......

I am pretty certain that there is more than one back up facility and they probably get lots of training and testing.
