Air Force Bases: A Likely Nuclear Target Structure
All American Air Forces bases likely have nuclear weapon capabilities making it them of the primary targets among the world's major nuclear target structures in a possible nuclear war[1]. Air force bases being a "first strike" nuclear war target are mostly due to missile silos, bomber bases and command and control (C2) centers. The enemy must neutralize these assets immediately to prevent or minimize American nuclear or other military retaliation.
