Where is the headquarters of Air Force Global Strike Command located?

• A. Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio
• B. Langley AFB, Virginia
• C. Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana
• D. Peterson AFB, Colorado

Answer: (C)

Knowing where the command that oversees strategic deterrence and long-range strike is headquartered shows where its leadership directs those missions. Air Force Global Strike Command, which handles ICBMs and long-range bombers, is headquartered at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. This location has housed the command since its creation, reflecting its focus on the bomber and ICBM forces based there and its long history of strategic airpower at that installation.

Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio is known for materiel development and testing, Langley AFB in Virginia hosts Air Combat Command, and Peterson AFB in Colorado is associated with space-related commands and activities.
