SAC Command Post - United States Air Force Strategic Air Command 1960's

THIS DOCUMENTARY WAS PRODUCED BY THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE TO GIVE US A CANDID LOOK AT THE DAILY OPERATION OF THE SAC COMMAND POST - THE EYES AND EARS OF THE STRATEGIC AIR COMMAND. THE FILM TRACES THE WARTIME HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY THAT LED TO THE CREATION OF SAC'S COMMAND-CONTROL SYSTEM, AND POINTS OUT THE COMMAND POST'S CONTROL OVER SAC FORCES AROUND THE WORLD, IN PEACETIME OR IN THE EVENT OF ENEMY ATTACK. WE SEE THE PHYSICAL CONFIGURATION OF THE COMMAND POST AND OTHER RELATED AREAS WITHIN SAC HEADQUARTERS LOCATED AT OFFUTT AFB, NEBRASKA. WE ALSO SEE DECISION MAKING AIDS AND FORCE-CONTROL MECHANISMS AVAILABLE TO SAC'S COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF AND THE JOINT STRATEGIC TARGET PLANNING STAFF.
