Disambiguation: NOT to be confused with SAC (Strategic Air Command) bases operated under other services. This refers specifically to the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command (1946–1992).

The Strategic Air Command (SAC) was a United States Air Force Major Command established on March 21, 1946, as the successor to the Continental Air Forces. Based primarily at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska (from 1948 onward), SAC served as the principal command responsible for nuclear deterrence during the Cold War, controlling strategic bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), strategic reconnaissance aircraft, and aerial refueling assets. At its peak in 1983, SAC controlled over 1,000 Minuteman ICBMs, 316 B-52 bombers, and supporting forces. SAC was disestablished in 1992 following the end of the Cold War, with its mission and assets transferred to the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). SAC bases were documented sites of multiple UAP incidents, most notably the Malmstrom Air Force Base missile incident in March 1967 involving Minuteman ICBM launch officers.

O Strategic Air Command (SAC) foi um Comando Maior da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos estabelecido em 21 de março de 1946 como sucessor das Forças Aéreas Continentais. Baseado principalmente na Base Aérea de Offutt em Omaha, Nebraska (a partir de 1948), o SAC serviu como comando principal responsável pela dissuasão nuclear durante a Guerra Fria, controlando bombardeiros estratégicos, mísseis balísticos intercontinentais (ICBMs), aeronaves de reconhecimento estratégico e ativos de reabastecimento aéreo. No auge em 1983, o SAC controlava mais de 1.000 ICBMs Minuteman, 316 bombardeiros B-52 e forças de apoio. O SAC foi desativado em 1992 após o fim da Guerra Fria, com sua missão e ativos transferidos para o United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). Bases do SAC foram locais documentados de múltiplos incidentes de UAP, notavelmente o incidente de mísseis Minuteman da Base Aérea de Malmstrom em março de 1967 envolvendo oficiais de lançamento.
