Inside the Strategic Air Command SAC - NORAD

US Strategic Command, formerly SAC, the Strategic Air Command during the cold war era. No other military organization has ever had such awesome power, nor showed such restraint in using it. But the real story of SAC was the interplay of its men. Played against a background of political and cultural upheaval, under the clouds of nuclear holocaust, they had to reconcile an inherent revulsion to becoming mass-murderers with their duty to protect family, friends, and the American way of life. In 1992, as part of an overall post-Cold War reorganization of the U.S. Air Force, SAC was disestablished as both a Specified Command and as a MAJCOM, and its personnel and equipment redistributed among the Air Combat Command (ACC), Air Mobility Command (AMC), Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), and Air Education and Training Command (AETC), while SAC's central headquarters complex at Offutt AFB, Nebraska was concurrently transferred to the newly created United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), which was established as a joint Unified Combatant Command to replace SAC's Specified Command role. In 2009, SAC's USAF MAJCOM role was re-activated and re-designated as Air Force Global Strike Command.
