Road Trip: Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska

Offutt Air Force Base (Offutt AFB) is a U.S. Air Force installation near Omaha in Sarpy County, Nebraska. It is the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Command, the Air Force Weather Agency, and the 55th Wing. Its legacy includes the construction of the first two bombers to drop atomic bombs and nearly 30 years as the aerial command center for the U.S. in case of nuclear war during the Cold War.

Offutt’s diverse missions and global responsibilities put it on the cutting edge of the Air Force’s transformation. Each branch of the US military is represented among the approximately 12,000 military and federal employees assigned here. Offutt is a beautiful community situated near the Missouri River in the rolling hills of southeastern Nebraska.

Air Combat Command is the primary force provider of combat airpower to America's warfighting commands. To support global implementation of national security strategy, ACC operates fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, battle-management and electronic-combat aircraft. It also provides command, control, communications and intelligence systems, and conducts global information operations.

As a force provider, ACC organizes, trains, equips and maintains combat-ready forces for rapid deployment and employment while ensuring strategic air defense forces are ready to meet the challenges of peacetime air sovereignty and wartime air defense.

 ACC numbered air forces provide the air component to U.S. Central and Southern Commands with Headquarters ACC serving as the air component to U.S. Northern and Joint Forces Commands. ACC also augments forces to U.S. European, Pacific and Strategic Commands.

Good morning Kathy.

I’ll keep praying for you and your family.

All is well here.

Some nice days are a tease, but still too cold and wet to plant any seeds or seedlings.

The weather changes quite a bit next week to freezing and near freezing over night... so no planting then, either.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Edward...((HUGS))...we are all at peace. It is his time.

You and Bo have a great Tuesday.

Thanks...good luck with your planting.

Your weather sounds as strange as ours. High 30s and low 40s during the days for more than a week....6” of snow on Sunday. Mid 30s and BEAUTIFUL sunshine yesterday. I knew it was too soon for breakup

Been chipping ice on the driveway for a week, and then snow. *sigh* I’m ready for spring.

[Kathy in Alaska]
