According to Defense News, Air Force units will now head to the hills at the first sign of war, dispersing from their massive bases to local airports, isolated airstrips, any place that can support airplanes. The idea is to use those large bases not to concentrate air power but as a hub to feed dispersed air power, maintaining a steady flow of fuel, ammunition, and food to small detachments of fighters and other warplanes hiding at airfields adversaries may not even know about.

We do have a lot of bases, but what isnt really known is the amount of Air National Guard units per state. Those will be protecting the homeland while the rest of the Air Force and Air Force Reserves will be deployed as needed...We wont get caught with our pants down, like what happened at Hickam Field in 1941.

Only need to hit half dozen or less in Pacific to cripple you. Next question is are we operating under peacetime assumptions.....is there any capable anti-air or anti-missile defense

from what I've read, though it is true that our enemies can strike us so quickly we would NOT be able to prevent mass destruction and death......AFTER the US was incinerated by (russia, china, n korea, iran....?)

our remaining forces would STILL be able to destroy the rest of the planet.

MAD.....

I think it's time to hear from the guys that actually practiced the mobility or bugout of the bases.

There is no "First Strike at a Minutes Notice" going to happen by anyone. it's going to take time to reprogram the missiles (target them), assemble forces, etc.. Think of days, not hours or minutes. While you are doing this, the other side isn't sitting idly by. They have people watching us and we have people watching them. As they progress closer to actually launching, before that, we have already loaded up our nukes, reprogrammed out missiles and warheads and started getting ready for the mobility. The closer it gets, the more the bugout gets to starting. At the last minute, the prepositioned pallets and personnel are loaded up and the move starts. This is done before the bombers and tankers launch. When they launch, a certain number of key personnel will bug out and literally move to another location for recovery or sustainability purposes. The Joke was the new home would be some corn field in Kansas. Of course, it would be in a real corn field. Chances are, it might be a civilian air strip somewhere else. The other side can't hit ALL the available air fields. That is going to be your new home. The base you left will probably be cinders. But you can recover and possibly relaunch Tankers and Bombers if need be. You will also have fully function Medical Facilities, security, etc.. It makes sure that the Military will still exist after the initial blasts. It also means that the Civilians will be able to rely on the Military for a lot of things to help keep their lives from going to crap. And the US Government will continue regardless.

You may not think this is important but it's damned important "The Day After".

You really have no idea just how hard it is to start a full blown Nuclear Exchange. It's designed today so that there can be no sneak attacks by either side. We have monitors and they have monitors. And then there are the spies up the ying yang by both sides. The Generals can't take a crap without the other side knowing how many squares he used of toilet paper. You have been watching way too many movies.

And just how are you going to take out major Air Force Operational Bases? And how are you going to take out the stateside bases with the fighters, bombers and supplies to resupply lost inventory as a war goes on in Europe? There is only one sure fired way. You drop a nice nuke package and it's done.

I spent some time at Bitburg AB and not one single F-15 was parked out in the open. All of them were parked in Revetments. So you take out the Runway. A F-15 will use the taxiways to take off just as well. And it's tough enough to land in the cut grass almost anywhere on the base including the Golf Course. The F-16 does as well.

Your lack of operational knowledge shows big time.
