7 History of Offutt Air Force Base Offutt Air Force Base s (AFB) great heritage began with the construction of Fort Crook between 1894 and 1896, some 10 miles south of Omaha and two miles west of the Missouri River. The new fort s namesake was Major General George Crook, a renowned Civil War hero and frontier soldier. Many of the original structures built on the post are still in use today. On 20 June 1896, the 22nd Infantry assumed command of Fort Crook. Other U.S. Army Infantry units shared command of the fort as each rotated tours in Cuba, the Philippines, and the Texas-Mexican border. On 10 September 1918, the 61st Balloon Company became the first air unit to command the post. In the spring of 1921, a field was built suitable for frequent takeoffs, landings, and refueling of military and government aircraft on crosscounty flights. In 1924, this field was dedicated in memory of Omaha s first air casualty in World War I, Lt. Jarvis J. Offutt. In late 1940, the Army Air Corps chose Offutt Field as the site for a new bomber plant. The plant s construction included two mile-long concrete runways, six large hangars and a huge 1.2 million square foot aircraft assembly building. The Glenn L. Martin Nebraska Company plant reached full-scale production in June A total of 531 B-29 Superfortresses and 1,585 B-26 Marauders were built by the end of World War II. These aircraft included the Enola Gay and Bockscar, the B-29s that dropped the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Production ended 18 September

8 History of Offutt Air Force Base In 1946, the post was transferred from the Army to the Army Air Forces. Offutt Field, including the Martin Bomber Plant, was transferred to the Air Materiel Command for an industrial reserve program. On 12 June 1946, the 431st Army Air Forces Base Unit was organized and the entire installation was renamed Offutt Field. On 13 January 1948, Offutt Field was re-designated Offutt AFB and officially transferred to the new Department of the Air Force. Ten months later, on 9 November 1948, Offutt AFB gained international prominence when the Strategic Air Command (SAC) Headquarters was established in the Martin-Nebraska complex. Offutt AFB underwent startling changes in the Cold War years following World War II. Operations included the basing of alert tankers in the late 1950s and 1960s, support for intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) sites in Nebraska and Iowa in the 1960s, and worldwide reconnaissance from the mid-1960s to the present. Offutt AFB s population and facilities grew dramatically to keep pace with the increased operational demands. Headquarters SAC moved from the Martin- Nebraska complex to Building 500 in late 1956 and new base facilities in the 1960s and 1970s included a commissary, hospital, main exchange, and library. Several new dormitories and over 2,000 family housing units were built in the late 1950s and 1960s. Additional housing and dormitories were added in to replace some of the earlier outdated buildings. With the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, the military underwent reorganization. SAC was disestablished on 1 June 1992 and the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), a unified command, was activated the same day. With this historic change, operational control of Offutt AFB became the responsibility of Air Combat Command (ACC), another one of the Air Force s new commands. The current USSTRATCOM resulted from the 1 October 2002 integration of two previous unified commands: United States Space Command and the former USSTRATCOM. The Army outpost, once hard-pressed to support a few hundred soldiers, continues to play a vital role in national defense in the 21st century with the resources and facilities to accommodate a combined military and civilian work force of some 10,000 while supporting over 20,000 dependents

9 Mission Descriptions of Large Associate Organizations 55th Wing Host Unit The 55th Wing is the largest wing in Air Combat Command. Operating on four continents, the Wing supports six diverse flying missions. The "Fightin' Fifty-Fifth" provides global reconnaissance, real-time intelligence gathering, command and control, information warfare, electronic attack, treaty verification and combat support to national leaders and agencies as well as Air Force and joint warfighters. Additionally, the 55th Wing provides Offutt Air Force Base infrastructure supporting 52 associate units including Headquarters U.S. Strategic Command, 557th Weather Wing, 595th Command and Control Group, and the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency CONUS Annex. The wing's support functions include: base mobility; manpower; logistics; aircraft and vehicle maintenance; civil engineering; contracting; personnel administration and education; law enforcement; resource security; morale, welfare and recreation; medical and dental care; and local as well as global command, control, and communication capabilities. The wing performs staff requirements to include: administration; legal services; comptroller; public affairs; history; inspection; plans and programs; ground and flight safety; protocol; inspector general; chaplain services; sexual assault prevention and response; and equal opportunity functions for both military and civilian members. In closing, the hardworking men and women of the 55th Wing can proudly lay claim to the fact that, truly "the sun never sets on the Fightin' Fifty- Fifth." United States Strategic Command U.S. Strategic Command, one of nine unified combatant commands of the Department of Defense, is responsible for detecting, deterring and preventing strategic attacks against the U.S., its allies and partners, and is prepared to deliver warfighting capability to defend the nation. USSTRATCOM responds to today s complex, dynamic and uncertain global security environment with an integrated organization. The command executes a diverse set of global responsibilities in coordination with other combatant commands and appropriate U.S. government agencies that directly contribute to national security. Including components, the command employs more than 5,300 people, representing all four military services, Department of Defense civilians and contractors, who oversee the command s global operations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A functional combatant command with trans-regional areas of responsibility, USSTRATCOM has evolved from a single focus on nuclear war-planning to an integrated portfolio of dynamic strategic capabilities to successfully redefine global deterrence and confront the full range of national security challenges with timely, effective and precision effects. As of December 2016, USSTRATCOM is charged with nine mission areas as assigned by the Unified Command Plan: strategic deterrence; space operations; cyberspace operations; joint electronic warfare; integrated missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; global strike; analysis and targeting; and combating weapons of mass destruction. These mission areas are critical to deterring strategic attack against the United States and providing assurance to our allies; to providing the nation with a safe, secure, effective and ready nuclear deterrent force; to delivering comprehensive warfighting solutions; to addressing challenges in space and cyberspace with capability, capacity and resilience; to building, sustaining and supporting partnerships; and to anticipating change and confronting uncertainty with agility and innovation. While the USSTRATCOM headquarters focuses primarily on command and control, strategic-level integration and advocacy for these missions, day-to-day planning and execution for the primary mission areas are performed by service-specific component commands, including Air Force Global Strike Command, Barksdale AFB, La., U.S. Army Forces Strategic Command, Redstone Arsenal, Ala., Fleet Forces Command, Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads Norfolk, Va., Marine Corps Forces U.S. Strategic Command, Offutt AFB, Neb., and Air Force Space Command, Peterson AFB, Colo.; joint functional component commands; task forces; and centers that train, equip and resource the forces necessary to carry out USSTRATCOM s global missions. These organizations leverage the expertise and operational capabilities within their ranks to support all combatant commands, making maximum use of all resources against emerging threats. As of December 2016, the major USSTRATCOM components include one subunified command for cyberspace, four joint functional component commands, and two centers
