TSA pp. 111-112: NorthCom and its sister command NORAD maintain subterranean
backups at the mountain. And just in case everything goes down -- command
headquarters, the mountain, the nation's telephone system, and the electrical
grid -- NorthCom also operates a fleet of six giant eighty-foot-long
eighteen-wheel trucks sittting ready on twenty-four-hour allert in a barricaded
compound at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, outside Cheyenne, Wyoming. The trucks,
officially called the Mobile Consolidated Command Center, could take to the
highways at a moment;snotice in a fifty-vehicle security convoy. A super-secret
unit created to survice a full-scale nuclear war, they contain everything
required -- their own generators, SCIFs, a top secret local area network,
satellite dishes, codes, and emergency decision handbooks -- to direct a
response to multiple terrorist attacks, launch American nuclear weapons,
or even take over command of the United States government, if necessary.
