STRATCOM

United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), commonly referred to as STRATCOM, was established in 1992 as a successor to the Strategic Air Command, following the end of the Cold War. Its primary mission is to deter strategic attacks against the United States and its allies, with responsibilities including nuclear operations, global strike, missile defense, and space operations. Headquartered at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, STRATCOM unifies command and control of the U.S. military's strategic capabilities across multiple domains. Over the years, its role has expanded to include cybersecurity and global situational awareness, making it a cornerstone of U.S. national security strategy.
