The ACC came into existence on June 1, 1992, incorporating assets from the Strategic Air Command (SAC), Tactical Air Command (TAC), and Military Airlift Command (MAC). During the Cold War, SAC and TAC had the primary responsibility of enforcing United States policies around the world through the deployment of air power, especially to contain and deter communism. Air Defense Command (ADC; renamed Aerospace Defense Command in 1968) and SAC had the primary responsibility for deterrence and air defense of the continental United States; TAC supported this mission. The bulk of the USAF ACC real property holdings are related to SAC, ADC, and TAC activities. Although the USAF missile program was transferred to the United States Space Command, under the operational authority of the North American Aerospace Defense Command in July 1993, the missile fields remain under the administration of ACC through the individual bases.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/coldwarera\/14-F-1329_DOC_01-THE_CROWDED_PATH_TO_UNLIMITED_SOVIET_ARSENALS_Redacted.pdf\">The Crowded Path to Unlimited Soviet Arsenals, September 21, 1994<\/a>\u00a0[\u00a0157\u00a0Pages, 4.89MB ] &#8211;\u00a0What Soviet Party Leaders, General Staff, and Industrialists Thought They Were Doing in the Cold War.\u00a0This volume contains much of the raw material on which this study is based.
