I was on active duty in the US Air Force from December 1971 through January 1981. My first assignment was as a Computer Systems Maintenance Technician AFSC 305x4A assigned to DPC Maintenance, 33rd Communications Squadron, March AFB, CA where I was part of the team of technicians that kept DPC 3 operational 24/7/365 except for 8 hours of planned preventive maintenance every three days. I am in the process of acquiring comprehensive reference materials covering this important part of USAF history which seems to be sadly lacking on Wikipedia and on the internet in general - the documenting of military systems that don't directly involve aircraft or flying, but were every bit as important to the successfull carrying out of the Air Force Mission.

[edit] SACCS Is not the SAC Automated Command/Control System, it's the Strategic Automated Command/Control System

I'm active duty USAF and currently a programmer assigned to the 55th Strategic Communications Squadron at Offutt AFB, NE. Our sole mission in our programming shop is the upkeep and maintenance of the SACCS software.

SACCS stands for Strategic Automated Command and Control System. SAC no longer exists.

It might now, but the one I was writing about, under the original Project 456L, was the SAC Automated Command and Control System. That's what it said on the T.O.s we used to maintain it.
