	Not Just A Last Resort?
		Exhibit A may be the Stratcom contingency plan for dealing with "imminent" threats from countries such as North Korea or Iran, formally known as CONPLAN 8022-02.
		Stratcom established an interim global strike division to turn the new preemption policy into an operational reality.
		Stratcom planners, recognizing that U.S. ground forces are already overcommitted, say that global strike must be able to be implemented "without resort to large numbers of general purpose forces."

	STRATCOM Stimulates Corporate Growth in Omaha
		As STRATCOM assumes its role in space operations, “our hope is that we expand some of our operations therecertainly with Northrop Grumman Space Technology’s interest in providing space capabilities,” Hinson said.
		Bailey said STRATCOM originally was a “very internal, cloistered” sort of command with its strategic weapons mission, but that is changing rapidly.
		His Omaha operations give STRATCOM a “reach into SAIC people at the Space and Missile Systems Center in California, to those who support the Air Force in Colorado Springs, the Army space people in Colorado Springs, the Navy space people in Dahlgren, Va. SAIC has employees working there daily in those mission areas,” Buckles said.

		Established in 1992 to unify nuclear command, STRATCOM inherited the functions of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) along with the nuclear missions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and European commands.
		STRATCOM is now the nerve system for the projection of air and space power from a global empire of at least 725 foreign military bases located in some 150 countries, plus literally thousands of U.S. installations.
		STRATCOM’s assets run the gamut of warfare, from nuclear weapons to cyberwar, to space war, to special operations units, to global reconnaissance, mapping, analysis and targeting, all of which are meant to work together.

	The Nautilus Institute: The Matrix of Deterrence
		Yet the STRATCOM studies and briefings suggest that these events to a large extent implemented a posture reform that evolved in the late 1980s and was refined in the early 1990s.
		STRATCOM's core concern was to evaluate -- from the warfighter's perspective -- the impact of few, heavily MIRVed platforms (term used loosely to indicate concentration of weapons on a platform) versus many, more lightly MIRVed platforms, and the ability to effectively plan the forces.
		It was not identified in the replies STRATCOM sent to the author in response to requests for force structure studies.

	A New Era: From SAC to STRATCOM - Major Jon M. Fontenot, United States Air Force
		STRATCOM knew this was too long and developed a plan to reduce the time from 18 to 6 months (adaptive force planning).
		STRATCOM's mission is to deter a major military attack on the United States and its allies, and should deterrence fail, employ strategic forces.
		STRATCOM conducts world-wide strategic reconnaissance, and maintains state-of-the-art command, control, and communications and intelligence support networks linking forces, which are ready to respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

	SAC is Replaced by STRATCOM
		The beginning of STRATCOM coincided with the change from a world with two super-powers facing each other to a world with one super-power and many other powerful nations and coalitions of power.
		STRATCOM controls the U.S. nuclear arsenal in case of another war.
		STRATCOM has the responsibility for weapons on nuclear alert, including land- and sea-based ballistic missiles, long range bombers, and air-refueling tankers, controlling all of the nuclear weapons that are at the disposal of the U.S. Air Force and Navy around the world.

	Targets of opportunity \| thebulletin.org
		In December 1992, STRATCOM formed the Strategic Planning Study Group "to develop a flexible, globally focused, war-planning process." This group developed the concept of a "living SIOP"--a real-time nuclear war plan that could respond instantaneously to war-fighting commands.
		STRATCOM began developing the "Silver Books"--plans for military strikes against facilities in "rogue nations," including Iran, Iraq, Libya, and North Korea.
		STRATCOM briefed European Command staff during a November 1994 visit, and it later briefed Pacific and Central Commands and the Joint Staff Roles and Functions Working Group.

		How great a change these steps represent are revealed in the fact that STRATCOM owes its existence to previous post-Cold War policymakers who considered it vital to erect a great firewall between nuclear and conventional forces.
		STRATCOM was to play a leading role in that reinvigoration.
		According to STRATCOM documents and briefings, its newly created Theater Planning Activity has now taken on all aspects of assessing chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons facilities worldwide.

	The Nautilus Institute Nuclear Strategy Project: US Strategic Command Force Structure Studies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		As the unified command in charge of U.S. nuclear forces, U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) periodically conducted force structure studies during the 1990s to assess the impact that arms control, new weapons, and world changes on the nation's security and the viability of the Single Integrated Operating Plan (SIOP) and other nuclear war plans.
		But STRATCOM's force structure studies illustrate the considerable leverage this nuclear "super-command" had and continues to have on the formulation of US nuclear strategy and policy.
		As the primary nuclear command, STRATCOM set out to restore order and predictability in the arms control process through its main asset: expertise in nuclear war planning and analysis.

		The new Space and Global Strike command is tasked with implementing the new Global Strike mission assigned to STRATCOM in January 2003.
		According to William M. Arkin, the exercise was scheduled to rehearse military operations during a trans-/post-attack nuclear environment, including reconstitution, redirection and targeting of STRATCOM forces.
		During this exercise, according to STRATCOM, Space and Global Strike underwent "a rigorous test of integrated planning and operational execution capabilities" and "demonstrated its mission of providing integrated space and global strike capabilities to deter and dissuade aggressors and when directed, defeat adversaries through decisive joint global effects in support of USSTRATCOM missions."

		STRATCOM Commander Gen. James Cartwright said at an opening ceremony that the new command would help the country convey a "new kind of deterrence."

		The study was also STRATCOM's first chance to prove its worth after replacing the split Air Force-Navy nuclear planning structure from the Cold War.
		Yet the status of STRATCOM as a nuclear super-command also monopolized somewhat the analysis of the nuclear posture.
		A change in structure did not necessarily mean a change in mindset so a central principle in STRATCOM's efforts was that the preferred force structure should meet the needs of the "warfighter" by maintaining highly survivable, flexible, and modern offensive forces.

		Security at Stratcom's Kenney Gate was only marginally stricter than last year, though rules respecting the installation's official demarcation - a white line painted on the street next to a stop sign - were more vigorously observed than in years past.
		The typical punishment for first-offense "line-crossing" at Stratcom is a ban and bar order, which means the offender is no longer allowed on U.S. military bases.

		In the early 1990s, STRATCOM analysis established a “preferred force structure” that protected a triad of modern and flexible nuclear forces in a “stable nucleus,” while gradually reducing excess operational weapons.
		STRATCOM officially removed the B-1 from nuclear-strike missions in support of the Single Integrated Operational Plan (SIOP) and Limited Nuclear Options on October 1, 1997.

		The release says that STRATCOM can recruit people from the service-specific space commands and from the intelligence community to fill these roles, which means all operational control for this kind of warfare goes to STRATCOM.
		STRATCOM will be the organization primarily responsible for global warfare (in either strategic or tactical sense to spread the empire), with J3 Global Ops managing this for STRATCOM.
		The other J offices within STRATCOM cover manpower (J1), plans and policy (J5 - potentially an important office, since it can decide usage policy on first strike etc.), and capabilities (J8 - essentially, a technical logistics office, the way J1 is a personnel logistics office).
