In Memory

The 2nd ACCS was responsible for the EC-135C 'Looking Glass' primary airborne command posts and EC-135C MIDAUXCPs (know by its static call sign of 'Achieve'). The MIDAUXCP also provided a survivable battle staff suite for CINCSAC, provided there was sufficient warning time for him to arrive at the aircraft prior to its alert launch.


The 3rd ACCS supported EC-135C EASTAUXCP and EC-135L radio-relay platforms. In addition to its role as a back-up to the 'Looking Glass', the EASTAUXCP provided a secondary source of secure communications with the NCA to the east of Offutt AFB and the 'Looking Glass'. Both the EASTAUXCP and radio-relays sat alert at Grissom AFB and at Lockbourne AFB (later renamed Rickenbacker ANGB).
