The article discusses the US government’s Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP), which outlines strategies for maintaining government functions during catastrophic events like nuclear war. With the possibility of conflict with nuclear powers, including recent tensions with Iran, COOP ensures that leaders, including the president, can operate from fortified bunkers and command centers, such as the E-4B 'Doomsday plane.' This plan focuses on safeguarding key personnel and communication networks to prevent chaos if major cities are compromised, emphasizing the importance of governmental stability in times of crisis.
In a World War III scenario with nuclear weapons, COOP would ensure the president, military leaders, and other officials operate from safe locations, preventing a leadership collapse that could lead to disorder throughout the society.
The Doomsday plane serves as a flying command post for key officials during times of crisis, particularly designed to survive a nuclear attack and coordinate military actions.
This strategy ensures that critical government functions, like national defense, economic stability, and public safety, keep going even if several major cities were destroyed by a weapon of mass destruction.
The secretive government plan was created as a framework for relocating key personnel, securing communication networks, and protecting vital records in the event that America's most protected sites came under attack.
