eight bombs

Built solid. The first B-52 arrived in June 1955 and the last in October 1962. The Air Force now operates 76 of them, with two returning to service from long-term storage at an Arizona facility known as the “boneyard.”

Either way, though, the B-52 is certain to remain in the heavy bomber fleet even as other, newer bombers head for the boneyard. After all these years, the Air Force still can’t do without it.

The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons, and has a typical combat range of more than 8,800 miles (14,080 km) without aerial refueling.

With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the fear of nuclear war and the need for major nuclear deterrence capabilities came to an end. In 1992 SAC was decommissioned and, in its place, the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) was created.

Strategic Communications

So a dramatic change took place June 1, 1992, with the restructuring of the Strategic Air Command to the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM).

Tactical Air Command (TAC) is an inactive United States Air Force organization. It was a Major Command of the United States Air Force, established on 21 March 1946 and headquartered at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. After two years in a subordinate role, Tactical Air Command (TAC) was established as a major command.

TAC in Army

The Type Allocation Code (TAC) is the initial eight-digit portion of the 15-digit IMEI and 16-digit IMEISV codes used to uniquely identify wireless devices. The Type Allocation Code identifies a particular model (and often revision) of wireless telephone for use on a GSM, UMTS or other IMEI-employing wireless network.

The Army uses TACs to pay for Army-funded cargo and personal property shipments throughout the Defense Transportation System (DTS). TACs are four-character pointers to a line of accounting (LOA) that identify the appropriation or user ultimately responsible for the associated transportation costs.

TAC can only be allocated by the GSMA through their appointed reporting bodies. Device brand owners and manufacturers need the Type Allocation Code (TAC) to create the first 8 digits of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), the number that identifies each unique mobile device on all gsm networks.

Warrant Officers who wish to serve as TAC Officers must meet the following criteria:

1. Rucker.
2. RTI.
3. Be a volunteer and be willing to serve a minimum of two years as a TAC Officer.
4. Have two years service remaining (no retirement planned).
5. Be a CW2, minimum of three years time in grade, or CW3. (

A Tactical Officer (TAC) is the primary cadet developer and the legal commander of a cadet company (approximately 125 cadets). TACs assist cadets in balancing the requirements of physical, military, and academic development.

A tactical operations center (TOC) is a command post for police, paramilitary, or military operations. A TOC usually includes a small group of specially trained officers or military personnel who guide members of an active tactical element during a mission.

WOCS focuses on Officer training and candidates serve in various student leadership positions throughout the course. The course includes classroom instruction focusing on officership, military history, problem solving, professional development, and other topics.

In the American Army, warrant officers rate a salute. It will be rare that you get any static for not saluting one. Warrant officers are technicians, and are not part of the chain of command.

In the United States Armed Forces, the ranks of warrant officer (grades W‑1 to W‑5; see NATO: WO1–WO5) are rated as officers above all non-commissioned officers, candidates, cadets, and midshipmen, but subordinate to the lowest officer grade of O‑1 (NATO: OF‑1).

Technically, warrant officers outrank all enlisted personnel, and are lower than all other officer ranks, including new ensigns and 2nd lieutenants.
