This film documents how Strike Command
acted as the nation's means of focusing U.S. military
power in a hurry to deal successfully with specific
emergencies wherever and whenever they occurred.
Established in 1961 and headquartered at MacDill Air
Force Base on the west coast of Florida, Strike Command
supervised the strategic reserve of combat units of the
continental Army command and the combat squadrons of the
tactical air command.
