Offutt Airbase, Nebraska (CNN)If the unthinkable happens and a nuclear exchange between the US and North Korea or Russia happens, President Donald Trump will rely on a secure underground facility at a base in the middle of the United States to carry out his orders. And four-star Air Force Gen. John Hyten, the commander of US Strategic Command, would be at the center of it all. "Our strategic responses are always ready to respond and everybody should know that," Hyten told CNN in an interview inside the highly secured 'Battle Deck' where he would oversee a nuclear response if the US is attacked or if Trump decides to launch a pre-emptive strike. "That they are ready this minute -- under the ground, under the sea, in the air, we are ready to respond, and the adversaries of the world -- including Kim Jong Un -- have to know that."

Funny how we had none of these types of stories when obama was busy surrendering, ceding the world to our adversaries, and leading from behind.
A tough job that somebody has to do. Glad that people are watching out for Americans and America. Thank you.
Well thanks for announcing its location. If and when that unspeakable day comes, look for a preemptive strike that will obliterate the mountain.
CNN could care less.
CNN making it look like DJT will use it tomorrow.
Another hit piece upon America from the Communist News Network.
As an old SAC weenie (since 1971) I can assure that any president giving the order would initiate the same nuclear response.
The world has known about SAC headquarters in Offutt since the 1950’s and there is no mountain there.
Well duh! All that will remain is a hundred square miles of radioactive dust.
Like the way NORAD did it’s job on 911?
Obama wouldn’t have ordered a strike...he would have waved a white flag.

You SIR are a DUMBASS!
White Privileged Flyover Country full of crazy gun owners.
Hogg needs to show up in Omaha to give a revolutionary speech.
In 2011 I saw a U.S. Navy Boeing 707 at North Island Naval Air Station 100th anniversary air show. That plane was the command center to direct the ballistic missile submarines after the U.S. has been attacked. The crew members were there answering questions. That 707 reminded me of the doomsday machine in Dr. Strangelove.
This is a nuclear strike secure location, per their website, and volumes of data during construction. And was tested with a false alert during the Jimmy Carter Administration.

Yup. Not too many mountain ranges in the eastern Nebraska area.
Highly doubtful
Strategic control since the cold war, and in particular since precision tactical nuclear strike capabilities, would require somewhat hierarchical but redundant, fail-safe, partially mobile, and covert organization.
