OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. – Gen. Anthony Cotton, commander of U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), recently announced these winners of the Strategic Command Consultation Committee’s (SCCC) 2024 Omaha Trophy:
Intercontinental Ballistic Missile: 91st Missile Wing, Minot AFB, North Dakota
Ballistic Missile Submarine: USS Tennessee (GOLD and BLUE), Kings Bay, Georgia
Strategic Bomber: 509th Bomb Wing, Whiteman AFB, Missouri
Global Operations: 171st Air Refueling Wing, Coraopolis, Pennsylvania
Gen. Cotton lauded these units and their people’s exceptional readiness, performance and commitment to national security.
“These dedicated warfighters remained squarely focused on this Command’s mission during our Year of Action. Now, as we move through our Year of Acceleration, their extraordinary performance has set new, incredibly high standards of professionalism and combat-readiness.”
The SCCC is a historic group of Omaha-based civic leaders focused on supporting USSTRATCOM’s mission and people. Since 1971, they’ve bestowed the annual Omaha Trophy upon elite units across four categories in recognition of their exceptional contributions to strategic deterrence.
SCCC Chair Dana Bradford noted that the Omaha Trophy is the highest distinction awarded to a nuclear-enterprise unit by a civilian organization. “We are deeply proud to recognize the hard work of these dedicated Americans and the selfless sacrifice of their loved ones at home. It is our honor to continue the Omaha Trophy tradition by celebrating the very best of the best.”
