NorthCom and its sister command NORAD maintain subterranean backups at the mountain. And just in case everything goes down -- command headquarters, the mountain, the nation's telephone system, and the electrical grid -- NorthCom also operates a fleet of six giant eighty-foot-long eighteen-wheel trucks sittting ready on twenty-four-hour allert in a barricaded compound at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, outside Cheyenne, Wyoming. The trucks, officially called the Mobile Consolidated Command Center, could take to the highways at a moment;snotice in a fifty-vehicle security convoy. A super-secret unit created to survice a full-scale nuclear war, they contain everything required -- their own generators, SCIFs, a top secret local area network, satellite dishes, codes, and emergency decision handbooks -- to direct a response to multiple terrorist attacks, launch American nuclear weapons, or even take over command of the United States government, if necessary.
