USAF SHIELD OF FREEDOM (1963) USAF ADC PUBLIC PROPAGANDA


 SHIELD OF FREEDOM IS A 1960 CIVILIAN PROPAGANDA  FILM EXPLAINING THE ROLE OF THE USAF - Air Defense Command A MISSION LASTING OVER 30 YEARS WHEN IT WAS THOUGHT THAT NUCLEAR WEAPONS BEING USED BY ENEMY FORCES WOULD COME VIA BOMBER, AN ELABORATE NETWORK OF USAF BASES AND SITES THAT WERE OPERATING AS RADAR, BOMARC MISSILES ARMED WITH 12 kt WARHEADS FOR ANTI AIRCRAFT PROTECTION,"ADC" JET INTERCEPTORS IDLING IN ALERT BARNS ON AIR BASES  SPREAD AROUND THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, THE CONTINUOUS  VIGILANCE WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS BEING CARRIED IN LONG RANGE JET BOMBERS THAT FLEW 365 DAYS 24 HRS  A DAY NO HOLIDAYS OFF,JET  TANKERS REFUELING THE VARIOUS BOMBERS SO THEY COULD DELIVER THEIR PAYLOADS A VERY IMPORTANT MISSION  TO KEEP THE BOMBERS FLYING AND WITH ENOUGH FUEL TO MAKE IT BACK, ORDERS CARRIED INSIDE A SAFE INSIDE THE COCKPITS OF B-52s, B47s, B48 HUSTLERS DESCRIBING WHAT SOVIET TARGETS THEY WERE TO TAKE OUT IF THEY WERE ORDERED IN,AND A AIRBORNE COMMAND POST  "NEACP" (NATIONAL EMERGENCY AIRBORNE COMMAND POST) CARRYING A GENERAL AND BATTLE STAFF WITH LAUNCH CODES HIGH TECH COMMUNICATION ABILITIES.  ABLE TO STAY ALOFT FOR 72 HOURS BEFORE HAVING TO LAND IN CASE OF AN ATTACK BY SOVIET FORCES  THAT SURPRISED THE MASSIVE FORCE THAT PROTECTED THE (CONUS) CONTINENTAL U.S. THE ABOVE ASSETS  ALONG WITH THE AIRBORNE CONTROL POST WOULD FIGHT WORLD WAR 3 FROM 8 OR MORE MILES ABOVE THE THE HELLFIRES FROM INCINERATED CITIES BELOW ,PERHAPS THIS WAS THE BIGGEST EFFORT OF ALL TIME TO PLAN FOR WAR COSTING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND THEIR WAS NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT, AND THIS WAS JUST OPERATING COSTS TO DETER ATTACK, LASTLY TO NOT  FORGET THE EARLY ICBMS OF THESE TIMES WITH USAF MISSILEERS AWAITING LAUNCH CODES HUNDREDS OF FEET BELOW GROUND, AS ELECTRONICS AND SCIENCE GREW MOST OF OUR DETERRENTS WERE OBSOLETE SINCE A SUBMARINE OFF OUR COASTLINE COULD INCINERATE MOST OF THE UNITED STATES IN UNDER A HALF HOUR, MISSILES IN PROTECTIVE SILOS WITH MULTIPLE WARHEADS COULD BE LAUNCHED AND FORGOT AS COMPUTERS ABOARD THESE ROCKETS GUIDED THEM TO THEIR SOVIET TARGETS AND AS THESE MISSILES APPROACHED THE SOVIET UNION THE WARHEAD WOULD OPEN AND RELEASE OTHER WARHEADS WITH DIFFERENT TARGETS THAT FOR THE MOST PART ARE INVINCIBLE, AT TIMES THE DOOMSDAY CLOCK WAS SET TO SOMEWHERE LIKE 1 MINUTE OR LESS TILL MIDNIGHT DENOTING HOW CLOSE TO A NUCLEAR CONFLAGRATION THE WORLD WAS. TODAY THE USAF NUCLEAR WINGS COMPRISED OF ICBMS SPREAD OUT AMONG THE PRAIRIES OF NEBRASKA, N. DAKOTA,& KANSAS ALONG WITH OUR NUCLEAR POWERED SUBS ABLE TO STAY UNDETECTED AS LONG AS PROVISIONS LAST ARE THE NUCLEAR HAMMER, AS TIME EVOLVED A NEW KIND OF WAR BEGAN ON A BEAUTIFUL SEPTEMBER DAY IN NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, WASHINGTON DC. A WAR THAT THESE WEAPONS CAN NOT FIGHT OR DETER SINCE THE ENEMY OPERATES IN SMALL GROUPS AND FIGHTS LIKE A COWARD. THEY ARE CALLED TERRORISTS AND UNLIKE THE COLD WAR OUR ENEMY LIVES AMONG US, PLOTTING, WAITING, READY TO KILL INNOCENTS, 

THESE PLACES WERE  DECOMMISSIONED AND RAZED ALMOST IN A ATTEMPT TO HIDE THE MADNESS OF THIS ERA IN AMERICAN HISTORY. THEY DO NOT EXIST AS MUCH AS THE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE ADC WERE THE LAST HOPE BETWEEN A ENEMY ATTACK ON OUR NATION, THEIR WAR WAS CALLED "THE COLD WAR" DO NOT BE FOOLED IT WAS ANYTHING BUT COLD AND THE FACT WE MADE IT THROUGH THIS ERA IS TESTAMENT TO DETERRENCE AND THE FACT WE WOULD USE THESE WEAPONS WITHOUT  A THOUGHT WAS BACKED UP BY OUR BOMBING OF JAPAN WITH TWO NUCLEAR DEVICES AND IF WE HAD THEM A LITTLE EARLIER EUROPE WOULD STILL BE GLOWING.

WARNING RED -MARYLANDS ATOMIC ATTACK CD PROPAGANDA(1956)

My shelter was just finished a couple of days ago. I thought people would laugh, so I kept it quiet.”
--Mrs. Gray, dowager / civil defense savior in the short film Warning Red
Warning Red (1956) portrays the atomic odyssey of suburbanite Martin Dale who, while on his way home from buying some ice cream, sees the bright flash of the Bomb. Once he gets up from the rubble and puts on his charred fedora, the thirteen-minute film moves forward with its agenda to convey all of the clichéd civil defense lessons about remaining in one’s shelter, avoiding contaminated food and staying tuned to CONELRAD. Of course, Mr. Dale ignores most of these rules (“It’s my life I’m risking, I don’t care!” he declares at one point to a tired survivor) by running through the fallout and fire-filled streets trying to find his family. 

During Dale’s journey—that seems to take less than five minutes of dramatic time—he encounters a stunned family sitting at a table by candlelight, a man cooking milk on an open fire and a psychotic woman trying to give her baby away. He finds his beloved wife, Karen, and son, Davey, when his older neighbor, Mrs. Gray, appears out of nowhere and leads him and his radioactive clothes into her secret (and giant) bomb shelter. There the Dale family is happily reunited while Mrs. Gray cradles the crazy woman’s infant
The official coda to the movie is that “You will have a greater chance of survival in an enemy attack or natural disaster if you know what to do…To learn how you can best protect yourself and your family in such an emergency, contact your nearest Civil Defense Office.” The unofficial coda to the movie is that these civil defense-loving survivors will soon be eating ice cream again (even if the scoop girl who so brazenly ignored the CONELRAD alert in the first minutes of the film is probably dead).


CD Movie Made in Olney

Warning Red Stars Local Talent, Sites
Twenty Sandy Spring area residents will get a chance to see how they look in the movies tomorrow evening, when “Warning Red,” a Civil Defense Administration motion picture filmed in Montgomery County, has its national premiere at the Viers Mill Theater.
Most of the sequences in “Warning Red” were made at the Olney CD facility and the majority of the cast are members of the Sandy Spring Group, all amateur actors.
The premiere of the film at 8:30 tomorrow evening will have a dash of Hollywood—floodlights bathing the front of the theater, officials of local and Washington Civil Defense offices and the Sherwood High Schoolband.
Joseph Cunningham, a Washington businessman who lives with his wife and three children at Spencerville, stars in the movie.
He appears as a typical suburban homeowner, searching for his family among the flames, smoke and debris that follow an enemy air attack. The film illustrates the things one should do and not do in such a situation.
Other members of the cast include Mrs. James Anderson, Phillip Boyd Martin, Mrs. Mildred Dowd, Mrs. Mary Reading Miller, Fred Joiner, James Sanders, Robert Miller, Rev. David L. Watterworth, Mrs. Marion Sanders, Melvin Scheidt, Mrs. Julia Bailey, Bonnie Bonifant, Elizabeth Cunningham, Richard Cunningham, Elizabeth Anderson, Sam Bailey, Bill Bailey, Sari Hines and Alan Johnston.
“Warning Red” was directed by Nicholas Webster of Manassas, Va., who has won several Hollywood awards for his direction of documentary films.
It was produced for the Civil Defense Administration by Phillip [sic] Martinof Norwood Studios. Mr. Martin is a former associate producer and film editor for several major Hollywood studios. He won an Academy Award in 1947 for the year’s best short subject, “The House I Live In.”
F. William Hart was assistant producer, and the script was by Kirby HawkesThe motion picture was produced with the facilities of Capital Film Studios of Washington.

THE F-102 DELTA DAGGER FROM A DIFFERENT VIEW THE USAFs FIRST ALL WEATHER FIGHTER/INTERCEPTOR THOUGH IT HAD PROBLEMS IT IS A AERODYNAMIC SHAPE AND QUITE QUICK AND SMOOTH PREVIOUS FIGHTER INTERCEPTORS AT SUFFOLK CO. AFB WERE THE SUPER SABRE F-86 AND THE REPUBLIC F-80 SERIES




TO SEE F-102s THAT WERE PART OF THE NEW YORK AIR NATIONAL GUARD STATIONED AT THE FORMER SUFFOLK COUNTY AFB NOW CALLED "GABRESKI AIRPORT" AFTER THE COMMANDER OF THE 52nd FIS DURING SUFFOLK AFBs COLD WAR YEARS, THESE F-102s ARE PAINTED GREY AND NOT THE SHINY ALUMINUM LIKE THE 1960s AND ALSO TWO ARE CAMOFLAUGED AND MOST LIKELY SURPLUS FROM THE VIETNAM WAR THE FILM SHOWS THE YEAR 1975 AS THE FILMS RECORDING DATE. THE FILM IS A FEW POSTINGS AFTER THIS POST ON THE BLOG, GO ON AND CHECK OUT THE F-102s OVER LONG ISLAND.

ALL USAF JET AIRCRAFT HAD HIGH VIS ORANGE PAINTED ON WING TIPS TO SHOW THEY WERE FRIENDLY AIRCRAFT A PHOTO OF THE HIGH VIS PAINT IS AT THE TOP OF THE POST SHOWING THE F-106 PAINTED UP ON THE GROUND AT SUFFOLK AFB

THIS AD THAT RAN IN MAGAZINES WAS JOINTLY FUNDED BY CONVAIR AND THE USAF AIR DEFENSE COMMAND, SUFFOLK COUNTY AFB WAS SURROUNDED BY THE SUBURBS OF NEW YORK CITY AND EVERY DAY ADC WINGS WERE JETTING OUT FOR TRAININGS AND TO INTERCEPT WAYWARD SOVIET BOMBERS OFF THE COAST OF LONG ISLAND, THIS CREATED A HELL OF A SITE AS 5 OR MORE F-102s CAME FLYING OVERHEAD IN FORMATION SCARING THE HELL OUT OF THE AVERAGE SUBURBAN AND THE AREA AROUND BASES WERE LOUD AS JET ENGINES WERE TESTED OR IDLED AND EVEN MILITARY AIR TRAFFIC USING THE BASE AS A LAYOVER CREATED A RUCKUS SO CONVAIR THE ADC PUT OUT THIS EXCELLENT PIECE OF COLDWAR PROPAGANDA STATING THE ROAR OF JETS ENSURES YOUR FREEDOM AND PROTECTION AND IT WAS PATRIOTIC NOT TOO COMPLAIN ABOUT THESE ADC BASES THAT WERE AT THE HEIGHT OF THE COLDWAR IN THE HUNDREDS AROUND THE UNITED STATES NEAR BIG CITIES AND MILITARY CONTRACTORS LIKE AVIATION AND WEAPON PLANTS, THEY SPROUTED UP AND THEIR WAS NO ASKING THE COMMUNITIES NEAR THEM IF THEY MINDED, THEY JUST HAD TO DEAL WITH THE NEW NEIGHBORS WITH LOUD MACHINES AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS. THESE ADS RAN DURING THE LATE 50s EARLY 60s AND THEN DISAPPEARED.,AND JUST LIKE THE PROPAGANDA THE  AIR FORCE ADC BASES STARTED CLOSING AROUND THE COUNTRY AS ICBMS WERE THE NEW PROTECTOR AND THE BASES ATE UP FUNDING THEY NEEDED FOR THE WAR IN VIETNAM, BY THE EARLY 70s ADC BASES WERE SOLD AS AIRPORTS OR GIVEN TO NATIONAL GUARD UNITS ENDING THE BOMBER INTERCEPTOR WINGS, SUFFOLK COUNTY AFB CLOSED IN THE WINTER OF 68' AND THE NATL GUARD TOOK OVER AND FINALLY THE 106th AEROSPACE/COMBAT RESCUE WING SETTLED IN, THESE AIRMEN RESCUE CIVILIANS OUT AT SEA WHEN NEEDED AND STANDBY WHEN SPACE SHUTTLE MISSIONS ARE LAUNCHED TO RECOVER ASTRONAUTS THEY ALSO ROTATE AND DO DOWNED PILOTS IN IRAQ,AFGHANISTAN,SOMALIA ECT.... AND THE ADC MISSION AT SUFFOLK IS HONORED BY THE CURRENT AIRMEN. THEY TOOK A ADC F-102 AND MOUNTED IT IN A TAKEOFF POSITION AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE SO THE USAF AIRMEN OF SUFFOLK COUNTY AFB WHO FOUGHT THE COLDWAR ARE NOT FORGOTTEN..

THE FACT THIS TRAINING TOOL WAS TO KEEP THE PILOT FROM BEING BLINDED BY THE FLASH OF THE AIR TO AIR ROCKET DETONATING AND ALSO HAD PILOTS TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID BEING DOSED WITH RADIATION AS THEIR ROCKETS WARHEAD FINDS ITS MARK AND VAPORIZES THE ENEMY BOMBER IN A BLINDING FLASH,

(1950s) Civil Defense Recruiting Film "WARNING RED"


ATOMIC ATTACK PREPARATION AND SURVIVAL PROPAGANDA


Here is a early civil defense classic scare tactic post attack film showing ordinary civilians right after their city is hit by enemy (soviet) a-bombs .
Our story revolves around citizen X who caught by surprise is tossed in to a hellish nightmare and the people he meets while searching for his family, at one point he comes across people trapped under a apartment building and he and another citizen start digging them out only to be stopped by the block warden who yells down a pipe telling those trapped under debris to wait until later for a rescue and then goes about sending citizen X on a paul revere type run spreading the word to seek shelter and listen to conelrad while civil defense units go about assesing blast damage and waiting on a radiation survey team.
the video is great atomic propaganda and worth watching

(1968) USAF SURVIVE TO FIGHT ATOMIC WEAPON HITS ADC BASE JETS SCRAMBLE INTERCEPT SOVIET ATTACKERS

THIS IS A CLASSIC UNITED STATES AIR FORCE TRAINING FILM THAT IS BASED ON SURVIVABILITY OF USAF BASE OPERATIONS IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES AFTER A NUCLEAR ATTACK,BASES LIKE THIS ONE WERE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES DURING THE COLD WAR PERIOD THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND RESPONSIBILITY THESE MEN HAD HAD HANDLING NUCLEAR WEAPONS THAT WERE USED ON INTERCEPTOR AIRCRAFT ,THE # AM SCRAMBLES INTO THE WINTER NIGHT NOT KNOWING IF THIS WAS FOR REAL AS BASE AIRCRAFT PEELED OUT LAUNCHING IN PAIRS SC REAMING INTO THE WINTER NIGHT WAITING FOR WORD OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE AIRMEN AT THESE BASES KNEW ANY ATTACK ON THE US THEY WOULD BE AMONG THE FIRST TO KNOW AND FIRST TO GO WHILE THE COMMUNITIES OUTSIDE THE GATES NEVER KNEW HOW CLOSE THEY WERE TO WAR AS THE BASES WENT TO DIFFERENT DEFCON LEVELS, THIS WAS NOT INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC. THE FILM STARTS AT NIGHT AND THE SAC AIR DEFENSE COMMAND LAUNCHES ITS F-101 INTERCEPTOR AIR CRAFT AND PREPARES TO RIDE OUT A NUCLEAR STRIKE AS CONFIRMATION OF INCOMING MISSILES IS CONFIRMED. THANKS TO A CLIMATE OF GUARDED DEFENSE THE AIR FORCE BASE IS ABLE TO BUILD DEFENSIVE AND SHELTER FACILITIES TO SURVIVE AND FIGHT AND AS A NUCLEAR DETONATION IS CONFIRMED ON BASE THE AIR FORCE BEGINS TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS SO ITS AIR WING CAN COME BACK AND RE-ARM AND RE-FUEL A GREAT SUBJECT THAT U.S. MILITARY FORCES HAD TO PLAN FOR AND TRAIN AND THIS FILM SHOWS WHAT THEY EXPECTED, THE REAL QUESTION IS IT REALISTIC IN ITS EXPECTATION? THE ONE THING IS THAT IT IS PRICELESS THAT THE USAF MADE THIS TRAINING FILM AND ITs QUOTES LIKE "HAVE NO UMBRELLAS,IF IT STARTS TO RAIN WE WILL LET YOU KNOW." AND "YOU CALL US BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T WE WILL BE CALLING YOU" WEIRD,.. BUT STILL GREAT PROPAGANDA!FILMED AT A SAC AIR DEFENSE INTERCEPTOR BASE LOCATED IN OXNARD, OXNARD AFB CALIFORNIA 1967 THIS IS BASICALLY WHEN CLOSING OF SAC ADC BASES WAS GOING ON ALL OVER (SUFFOLK COUNTY AFB LONG ISLAND NEW YORK) RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NYC AREA FOR MOST OF THE COLD WAR.DURING 1968- EARLY 1970s MOST OF THESE AIR FORCE ADC UNITS WENT OVER TO FIGHT IN VIETNAM AND THAILAND AS FORWARD AIR CONTROL AND MUNITION LOADERS FOR USAF STRIKE PLANES USING IRON BOMBS INSTEAD OF ATOMIC MUNITIONS BOMBING NVA BASES AND NORTH VIETNAM AND THE ADC PILOTS AND BACKSEATERS WENT OVER ALSO, TO ME THESE GUYS REALLY SERVED THEIR COUNTRY PLUS ONE AND DESERVE BIG RESPECT , MY HATS OFF TO THE USAF AIRMEN OF ADC/SAC AND VIETNAM/THAILAND/LAOS

DEFCON THE ULTIMATE NUCLEAR WAR SIMULATION

NYC EMERGENCY BROADCAST PLEASE STAND BY FOR OFFICIAL INFORMATION (1980-1984)

USAF/SAC AT DEFCON ONE AND CONFIDENCE IS HIGH! "EXECUTIVE DESCISION" USAF'S NUCLEAR POSTURE

PROBABLY THE MOST TELLING STORY OF USAF MIGHT AND POWER AS WAR IS UNLEASHED ON THE AGRESSOR NATION WHO IS LATER IDENTIFIED TO BE THE SOVIET UNION, THE STOCK FOOTAGE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS BEING DROPPED BY B-47 STRATOJETS and B-52 BOMBERS ARE FROM ONCE CLASSIFIED USAF NUCLEAR TEST OPS. MOST OF THIS ENTIRE FILM IS FROM CLASSIFIED WARPLANS AND SPECIAL OPERATIONS, THIS HOMAGE TO SAC AND STRATEGIC AIR COMMANDS DEDICATION TO MISSION IS A JEWEL AND FROM A TIME WHERE THE WORLD WAS A TINDERBOX READY FOR SOMEONE TO STRIKE THE SPARK AND IGNITE A WORLDWIDE NUCLEAR CONFLAGRATION WHERE LIFE MOST LIKELY WOULD OF WENT THE WAY OF THE DINOSAUR AND ONLY MILLIONS OF YEARS LATER A FOSSILIZED REMAINS OF MAN WOULD BE DISCOVERED BY THE NEXT GENERATION THAT CAME FROM THE ASHES OF THE OLD, THIS FILM IS NOT KNOWN IF IT WAS EVER SEEN OR VIEWED OTHER THAN A HANDFUL OF HIGH RANKING USAF OFFICERS, SEE THE DESCRIPTION AND INFORMATION FROM THE NUCLEAR VAULT.COM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The Power of Decision" may be the first (and perhaps the only) U.S. government film dramatizing nuclear war decision-making. Commissioned by the Strategic Air Command in 1956, the film has the look of a 1950s TV drama, but the subject is the ultimate Cold War nightmare. By the end of the film, after the U.S. Air Force has implemented war plan "Quick Strike" following a Soviet surprise attack, millions of Americans, Russians, Europeans, and Japanese are dead. The narrator, a Colonel Dodd, asserts that "nobody wins a nuclear war because both sides are sure to suffer terrible damage." Despite the "catastrophic" damage, one of the film’s operating assumptions is that defeat is avoidable as long as the adversary cannot impose its "will" on the United States. The film’s last few minutes suggest that the United States would prevail because of the "success" of its nuclear air offensive. Moscow, not the United States, is sending out pleas for a cease-fire. The conviction that the United States could prevail was a doctrinal necessity because Air Force leaders assumed the decisiveness of air power. The founding fathers of the U.S. Air Force came out of World War II with an unshakeable, if exaggerated, conviction that the strategic bombing of Germany and Japan had been decisive for the Allied victory and that air power would be crucial in future conflicts. (Note 1) The film’s title: "Power of Decision" embodies that conviction. The title itself is a reference to a 1948 statement by General George C. Kenney, the Strategic Air Command’s first commander-in-chief: "A war in which either or both opponents use atomic bombs will be over in a matter of days...The Air Force that is superior in its capability of destruction plays the dominant role and has the power of decision." (Note 2) A confident statement made by one of the characters, General "Pete" Larson, near the close of reel 6 flows from that assumption: the Soviets "must quit; we have the air and the power and they know it." The story begins with Colonel Dodd, standing in the underground command post of the "Long Range Offense Force" (oddly, the Strategic Air Command is never mentioned by name). Dodd discusses the Force’s strike capabilities, its mechanisms for keeping track of its strategic assets, and its war plans. That hundreds of bombers, based in U.S. territories and overseas bases, are ready to launch at a moment’s notice is the "surest way to prevent war." Dodd does not think that the Soviets are likely to strike, but if deterrence fails and the Soviets launch an attack, "this is what will happen." What "happens" is the initial detection by U.S. air defense network of the approach of Soviet bombers over the Arctic Circle. That leads to General Larson’s decision to launch the SAC alert force under plan "Quick Strike"; airborne and nuclear-armed alert bombers fly toward the Soviet periphery, but stay at position until they receive an attack order (this was the concept of "Fail Safe" or "Positive Control" although those terms were not used in the film). About an hour after the alert force is launched, General Larson receives reports of attacks on U.S. bases, followed by more information on Soviet nuclear attacks on cities and military bases in Japan and Western Europe. "That does it," General Turner (one of Larson’s deputies) exclaims. He soon receives a call on the red phone from the Joint Chiefs, who with the President, are in a protected command post. The president has ordered the execution of "Quick Strike," releasing bombers and missiles to strike the Soviet Union. This simultaneous bomber-missile "double punch" is aimed at "all elements of [Soviet] air power" [bomber bases] along with "war making and war sustaining resources," which meant strikes on urban-industrial areas and urban populations. To depict the undepictable, the film’s producers use stock footage of nuclear tests and missile and bomber launches. Once it is evident that the Soviets have launched a surprise air attack, Colonel Dodd observes that "By giving up the initiative, the West must expect to take the first blow." This statement is not developed, but for Air Force planners, "initiative" meant a preemptive attack or a first strike. By the early 1950, senior military planners and defense officials had begun considering the possibility of pre-emptive attacks on the basis of strategic warning; that is, if the United States intelligence warning system collected reliable information on an impending Soviet attack, decision-makers could approve strikes against Soviet military forces to disrupt it. Consistent with this, Strategic Air Command war plans assumed "two basic modes" for executing strike plans [See Document One below]. () One was retaliation against a surprise attack; the other "plan was based on the assumption that the United States had strategic warning and had decided to take the initiative." The SAC strike force would then be "launched to penetrate en masse prior to the enemy attack; the main target would be the enemy’s retaliatory capability." In the last part of reel 6, Air Force intelligence briefings review the destruction of the Soviet military machine, including destruction of air bases, weapons storage centers, and government control centers, among other targets. "Target M," presumably Moscow, has "been destroyed" by a nuclear weapon which struck 300 yards from the aiming point. The Soviet attack has done calamitous damage to the United States, with 60 million casualties, including 20 million wounded, but evidence was becoming available of the "success" of the U.S. air offensive. The Soviet Air Force has been reduced to a handful of aircraft, it had stopped launching nuclear strikes outside of its territory, and SACEUR [Supreme Allied Commander Europe] reports the "complete disintegration of resistance" by Soviet ground forces. Moreover, cease-fire requests are coming in from the Soviets. In this context, General Larson’s certainty that the "Soviets must quit" conveyed prevailing assumptions about the value of strategic air power. Around the time when "The Power of Decision" as being produced, a statement by SAC Commander-in-Chief General Curtis LeMay made explicit what was implicit in Larson’s observation. In an address before the Air Force’s Scientific Advisory Board in 1957 [see Document Two], LeMay argued that U.S. strategic forces could not be an effective deterrent unless they were "clearly capable of winning under operational handicaps of bad weather and no more than tactical warning." And by winning, LeMay said he meant "achieving a condition wherein the enemy cannot impose his will on us, but we can impose our will on him." Larson’s statement about control of the air dovetailed exactly with LeMay’s assumptions about winning. Little is known about the production and distribution of "The Power of Decision," or even if it was actually shown. According to the history of the Air Photographic and Charting Service for January through June 1957, on 28 May 1956, the Strategic Air Command requested the service to produce the film, which would be classified Secret. SAC leaders may have wanted such a film for internal indoctrination and training purposes, to help officers and airmen prepare themselves for the worst active-duty situation that they could encounter. Perhaps the relatively unruffled style of the film’s performers was to serve as a model for SAC officers if they ever had to follow orders that could produce a nuclear holocaust. In any event, the script for "Power of Decision" was approved on 10 May 1957 and a production planning conference took place on 29 May 1957. The contract productions section of the Air Photographic and Charting Service was the film’s producing unit. The next step was to find actors with security clearances because even the synopsis of the film was classified secret (although later downgraded to "official use only"). As the Air Force was not in the business of hiring actors, the production unit engaged the services of MPO Productions, a New York-based firm which produced commercials and industrial films. [References to MPO, Inc. are on the index cards and on "The End" frame at the close of reel 6]. What happened next, when the work on the film was completed, SAC’s assessment of the project, and whether, when, or where the film was shown, cannot presently be determined, although the information may be in the living memories of participants or viewers from those days. Note: The relatively poor quality of this digital reproduction reflects the condition of the original reels as turned over to the National Archives by the Air Force.

AND HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO HERE IT. DURING THE 1970s to PRESENT USAF/ADC AND OTHERB MILITARY BASES WERE CLOSED BY THE HUNDREDS, IMAGINE A CITY LIKE NEW YORK HAS NO AIR DEFENSE THE NEAREST ARMED AIRCRAFT IS 30 MINUTES AWAY , AND MOST CITYS ARE NO LONGER DESIGNATED MILITARY PROTECTION, THIS MAKES NO SENSE SINCE OUR MILITARY IS TO DEFEND THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES AND I REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW OUR NATION CAN FORGET WHY WE HAVE ARMED FORCES. THEY ARE NOT FOR FIGHTING ON FOREIGN SOIL AND IF WE HAVE TO WE CAN SEND B-52S ON BOMBING MISSIONS, WE NEED TO LOOK BACK AT WHAT THIS NATIONS FOUNDATIONS WERE AND REBUILD IT, BECAUSE SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT!

USAF/DEFENSE NUCLEAR AGENCY (1970) MEETING THE TERRORIST THREAT- GUARDING USAF NUCLEAR FACILITIES

- Meeting the Terrorist Threat, Produced by the Defense Nuclear Agency - Early 1970's - 7:30 - Color - Since the emergence of the terrorist threat, the U.S. Governments concern about the possible terrorism against nuclear facilities has intensified. This video is a dramatization. It shows how the Government has responded to this threat. The video depicts nuclear security activities at an early nuclear storage site and how a small unarmed force of intruders easily enters under the security fence surrounding the site. The protective force subdues the intruders easily. In another scene, a well-armed terrorist team enters the base and kills a roving patrol with a well-placed sniper. Security forces finally overcome the terrorists after a superior counter-force arrives. On a third entry, a terrorist team enters the site under the cover of a fellow terrorist, hidden in the forest, armed with a heavy machine gun. This terrorist team reaches and penetrates a storage igloo after the roving patrol is killed, and the rapid response force is destroyed. However, the terrorists do not escape. When the superior security force appears with helicopter support and an armored personnel carrier, the terrorists, including the machine gunner, are killed. Since this film was made, the Department of Energy (DOE) has constantly improved the training and tactics of the security forces at each installation as well as the in-place security systems.
