Hi skoorb,
Thank you for another interesting question.
Encyclopedia: Strategic Air Command
http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Strategic-Air-Command
"Strategic Air Command or SAC was the branch of the United States Air
Force in charge of America's non-submarine-based nuclear arsenal.
Established in March 1946, SAC had its headquarters and bomber force
at Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha, Nebraska . The Strategic Air
Command symbolized the cornerstone of American national strategic
policy during the Cold War, namely, mutual assured destruction with
the Soviet Union and nuclear deterrence of other nuclear powers.
In 1992, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, SAC was combined
with the Naval nuclear forces to form the U.S. Strategic Command."
