As the boss of Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) and the air component commander of US Strategic Command (STRATCOM), General Timothy Ray has 156 bombers and 400 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) under his control and is tasked with the US Air Force's (USAF) core global strike mission. "We [AFGSC) are responsible for a strategically significant fleet of systems capable of delivering the nation's weapons," began General Ray. "Our western alliance has no bombers, or open bomber production lines. Nor does our alliance have any ICBMs or ICBM production lines. The Air Force's 156 bombers and 400 ICBMs, in addition to the US Navy's 240 submarine-launched ballistic missiles, are all our nation has to compete, deter and win when it comes to strategic victory."
