Codenamed Looking Glass, it is United States Strategic Command's (USSTRATCOM) Airborne Command Post (ABNCP), designed to take over in case the Global Operations Center (GOC), located at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, is destroyed or incapable of communicating with strategic forces. The term "Looking Glass" is used because the ABNCP "mirrors" the abilities of the US Strategic Command GOC to control nuclear forces.
The E-6B has many more capabilities than that. Strategic forces coordination is only it's primary mission.
I don't think it's going to be doing anything crazy over Kentucky...which is where it's at now.
Probably controlling the submarines in the underground ocean 10 miles below the surface of Kentucky that no one else knows about! J/k. ?
