The &#039;&#039;&#039;United States Strategic Command&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;USSTRATCOM&#039;&#039;&#039;) is one of the eleven [[unified combatant command]]s in the [[United States Department of Defense]]. Headquartered at [[Offutt Air Force Base]], Nebraska, USSTRATCOM is responsible for [[Strategic_nuclear_weapon|strategic nuclear]] [[deterrence theory|deterrence]], [[Air_Force_Global_Strike_Command|global strike]], and operating the Defense Department&#039;s [[Global Information Grid]]. It also provides a host of capabilities to support the other combatant commands, including integrated missile defense; and global &#039;&#039;&#039;command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;C4ISR&#039;&#039;&#039;). This command exists to give &amp;quot;national leadership a unified resource for greater understanding of specific threats around the world and the means to respond to those threats rapidly&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;stratcom.mil&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.stratcom.mil/About/|title=About|website=www.stratcom.mil}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;stratcom.mil1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.stratcom.mil/About/History/|title=History|website=www.stratcom.mil}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

U.S. Strategic Command&#039;s Airborne Command Post (ABNCP), also called &amp;quot;[[Operation Looking Glass|Looking Glass]]&amp;quot;, allows USSTRATCOM the ability to command, control, and communicate with its nuclear forces should ground-based command centers become inoperable.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;stratcom.mil3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.stratcom.mil/Media/Factsheets/Factsheet-View/Article/960928/e-6b-airborne-command-post-abncp/|title=E-6B Airborne Command Post (ABNCP)|website=stratcom.mil}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
USSTRATCOM was originally formed in 1992, as a successor to [[Strategic Air Command]]&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;C&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/jfq_pubs/1231.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051017033516/http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/jfq_pubs/1231.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=2005-10-17 |title=New Challenges for the Unified Command Plan |author=W. Spencer Johnson |date=2002 |website=www.dtic.mil |access-date=30 July 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; in response to the end of the [[Cold War (1985–1991)#End of the Cold War and the Beginning of a New World Order|Cold War]] and a new vision of nuclear warfare in U.S. defense policy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;A&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.stratcom.mil/Media/News/News-Article-View/Article/1323859/usstratcom-celebrates-15-years/ |title=USSTRATCOM Celebrates 15 Years |author=&amp;lt;!--Not stated--&amp;gt; |date=25 September 2017 |website=www.stratcom.mil |publisher=USSTRATCOM Public Affairs |access-date=29 July 2018 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;B&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1= Rita Clark (LtCol, USAFR) |last2= Dr. Vincent Giroux, Jr. |last3= Dr. Todd White |date=15 August 2013 |title=History of the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) – Nuclear Weapons, Cold War Strategy, Service Rivalries, Arms Control |publisher=Progressive Management |isbn=978-1-30-101083-7}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Department of Defense changes in command structure due to the [[Goldwater–Nichols Act]] of 1986, led to a single command responsible for all strategic nuclear weapons. As a result, USSTRATCOM&#039;s principal mission was to deter military attack, and if deterrence failed, to counter with nuclear weapons.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;D&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.stratcom.mil/About/History/ |title=History |author=&amp;lt;!--Not stated--&amp;gt; |date=January 2018 |website=US Strategic Command |access-date=29 July 2018 |quote=In addition to the dramatic changes in the global landscape associated with the end of the Cold War, changes in the structure of the DoD stemming from the 1986 &amp;quot;Goldwater-Nichols Act&amp;quot; led national leaders to favor a single command responsible for all strategic nuclear forces. The new command&#039;s principal mission was to deter military attack, especially nuclear attack, on the United States and its allies and, if deterrence failed, to employ nuclear forces.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout its history, it has drawn from important contributions from many different organizations stretching back to World War II. Providing national leadership with a single command responsible for all strategic nuclear forces, [[George Lee Butler|General George Butler]], in establishing the new command, borrowed from the work of [[Curtis LeMay|General Curtis LeMay]], an early commander of Strategic Air Command. LeMay was a very vocal advocate for a strong national defense, particularly as regards nuclear weapons.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;B&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being a [[Unified combatant command|Unified Command]], another major concern for Gen. Butler was interservice rivalry, having soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in one command.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;B&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; There had been decades of rivalry between the branches of the U.S. military regarding control of nuclear weapons. Even though a compromise had established the &#039;&#039;&#039;Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff&#039;&#039;&#039;, there were systemic and institutional problems that could not be overcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
USSTRATCOM was re-structured 1 October 2002 by [[United States Secretary of Defense|Secretary of Defense]] [[Donald Rumsfeld]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;A&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; It was now to merge with the [[United States Space Command]] and assume all duties for full-spectrum global strike, operational space support, integrated missile defense, and global Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;ISR) and specialized planning.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;C&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Its duties now include intelligence and cyber support as well as monitoring orbiting satellites and space debris.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2008, USSTRATCOM succeeded in destroying a satellite, [[USA-193#Destruction|USA193]], about to re-enter the Earth&#039;s atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;E&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.stratcom.mil/Media/News/News-Article-View/Article/983774/usstratcom-comments-on-space-debris-article/ |title=USSTRATCOM Comments on Space Debris Article |author=U.S. Strategic Command Public Affairs |date=1 February 2010 |website=www.stratcom.mil |access-date=30 July 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
USSTRATCOM also supported [[United States Africa Command]]&#039;s [[2011 military intervention in Libya]] in a variety of ways, including long-range conventional strikes and [[Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance#ISR (Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance)|intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR)]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;F&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.stratcom.mil/About/History/ |title=History |author=&amp;lt;!--Not stated--&amp;gt; |date=January 2018 |website=US Strategic Command |access-date=29 July 2018 |quote=In 2011, it supported U.S. Africa Command&#039;s operations against Libya in a variety of ways, including long-range conventional strikes and ISR.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An intention by the U.S. Air Force to create a &#039;cyber command&#039; was announced in October 2006.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/US_Air_Force_Prepares_For_Cyber_Warfare_999.html |title=US Air Force Prepares For Cyber Warfare |author=John C.K. Daly |publisher=Space Daily |date=9 October 2006 |access-date=30 July 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On 21 May 2010, part of USSTRATCOM&#039;s responsibility regarding cyber-warfare operations was spun off into a 10th Unified Command, the United States Cyber Command. As a result, USSTRATCOM&#039;s [[Joint Task Force-Global Network Operations]] (JTF-GNO) and [[Joint Functional Component Command – Network Warfare]] (JFCC-NW) were disestablished.&lt;br /&gt;
