Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) is headquartered at which base?

• A. Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio
• B. Barksdale AFB, Louisiana
• C. MacDill AFB, Florida
• D. Lackland AFB, Texas

Answer: (B)

Air Force Global Strike Command is the organization responsible for the nation’s long-range striking forces, including bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles. Its headquarters being located at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana reflects the base’s longstanding role in strategic deterrence and its proximity to the units and assets that make up the command’s core mission. The other bases listed are associated with different major commands or functions—Wright-Patterson hosts AFMC, MacDill hosts CENTCOM (and SOCOM activities), and Lackland is known for basic military training—so they aren’t the home of AFGSC’s leadership.
