A few civilian airfields, such as Clinton-Sherman Airport, were originally SAC bases. The long-length runways were maintained, as well as the Christmas tree alert structure for possible reuse by SAC forces in the event of nuclear war.
Various SAC communications squadrons would conduct ARB training by installing a mobile high frequency radio set at a pre-planned site and establish a communications net.
