SAC Generals Run Airborne Command Post Drills
Ten SAC generals take turns manning an airborne command post aboard a KC135 during twice weekly drills. In case of attack the aircraft would remain in the air with a general at the helm to command SAC retaliatory forces if the Offutt base is destroyed. In tests the go signal reaches the commander and aides who then contact the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon SAC and NORAD as the plane takes off within minutes of the alarm.
