The '''United States Strategic Command''' ('''USSTRATCOM''') is one of the eleven [[unified combatant command]]s in the [[United States Department of Defense]]. Headquartered at [[Offutt Air Force Base]], Nebraska, USSTRATCOM is responsible for [[Strategic_nuclear_weapon|strategic nuclear]] [[deterrence theory|deterrence]], [[Air_Force_Global_Strike_Command|global strike]], and operating the Defense Department's [[Global Information Grid]]. It also provides a host of capabilities to support the other combatant commands, including integrated missile defense; and global '''command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance''' ('''C4ISR'''). This command exists to give "national leadership a unified resource for greater understanding of specific threats around the world and the means to respond to those threats rapidly".<ref name="stratcom.mil">{{cite web|url=http://www.stratcom.mil/About/|title=About|website=www.stratcom.mil}}</ref><ref name="stratcom.mil1">{{cite web|url=http://www.stratcom.mil/About/History/|title=History|website=www.stratcom.mil}}</ref>
