Total Exclusion Zone The Total Exclusion Zone ( TEZ ) was an area declared by the United Kingdom on 30 April 1982 covering a circle of from the centre of the Falkland Islands . During the Falklands War any sea vessel or aircraft from any country entering the zone may have been fired upon without further warning . TEZ was an extension of the Maritime Exclusion Zone ( MEZ ) declared on 12 April 1982 covering the same area . Any Argentine warship or naval auxiliary entering the MEZ could have been attacked by British nuclear - powered submarines ( SSN ) . On 23 April , the British Government clarified that any Argentine ship or aircraft that was considered to pose a threat to British forces would be attacked in a message that was passed via the Swiss Embassy in Buenos Aires to the Argentine government : The " civilian aircraft " allude particularly , but not only , to the Boeing 707 of the Argentine Air Force that until then had shadowed the British Task Force on its journey south and had been escorted away on several occasions by Sea Harriers . When ARA " General Belgrano " was sunk on 2 May 1982 , it was outside the TEZ . This has led to much debate and controversy over whether the attack was legal . However , exclusion zones are historically declared for the benefit of neutral vessels ; during war , under international law , the heading and location of a belligerent naval vessel has no bearing on its status . In addition , the captain of the " Belgrano " , Héctor Bonzo , has testified that the attack was legitimate ( as did the Argentine government in 1994 ) . Interviews conducted by Martin Middlebrook for his book , " The Fight For The Malvinas " , indicated that Argentine Naval officers understood the intent of the message was to indicate that any ships operating near the exclusion zone could be attacked . Argentine Rear - Admiral Allara who was in charge of the task force of which the " Belgrano " was a part said , " After that message of 23 April , the entire South Atlantic was an operational theatre for both sides . We , as professionals , said it was just too bad that we lost the " Belgrano " " . On 7 May 1982 , the TEZ was extended to within of the Argentine coast , meaning that any Argentine vessel or aircraft world - wide was liable to be attacked .

Strategic Automated Command and Control System The Strategic Automated Command and Control System ( SACCS ) is one of myriad command and control systems used to coordinate the operational functions of United States nuclear forces , specifically intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear bombers . Nomenclature . When originally developed , SACCS stood for " SAC Automated Command and Control System " . The end of the Cold War hastened the demise of the Strategic Air Command ( SAC ) and saw the creation of United States Strategic Command ( USSTRATCOM ) . The " S " in the SACCS acronym was redesignated to stand for " Strategic " . Layout . SACCS consisted of three main parts : History . The SACCS was conceived as an enhancement to the existing manual command , control , and communications and was also an offshoot of the experiences gained by the Air Force and IBM from the development and deployment of the SAGE system . The Data Processing Central element hardware was originally going to be used as the SAGE II computing element , and is architecturally very similar to the SAGE system computer . In 1956 the Commander In Chief of SAC ( CINCSAC ) , who was General Curtis LeMay at the time , determined that SAC ' s command and control system needed improving , as the current system of leased teleprinter circuits and radio links was too slow to provide realtime communication , which was a necessity during the Cold War . A government program , eventually designated 465L , coordinated military and industry to provide this system . The 465L program was the predecessor to the current Strategic Automated Command Control System . In 1965 , SAC procured the 465L system hardware , which was designed to survive nuclear attack and to provide rapid transmission , processing , and display of information to support command and control of SAC ' s geographically separated forces . The development of the systems software took somewhat longer , as a system of 465L ' s scope had never been attempted before . By 1970 the system had been for the most part made operational , and was to remain a stable part of SAC C infrastructure until it was replaced by the WWMCCS . Elements . Maintenance on the SAC HQ SACCS system is performed by the 55th Strategic Communications Squadron , Offutt AFB , Nebraska . Maintenance on the 15th Air Force SACCS system is performed by the 33rd Communications Squadron at March AFB , CA . Mobile SACCS . There briefly existed a mobile element to SACCS , in the form of a remote communications van . The van was completed on 12 July 1968 , and shipped to Andersen AFB , Guam for support to SAC forces . Its current disposition is unknown . Film . A brief glimse of a SACCS Local Communication Center ( LCC ) mainframe can be seen during the ICBM launch control center scenes in the film " WarGames " .

Part of the SACCS Replacement Keyboard ( SRK ) , Line Printer Unit ( LPU ) and associated equipment rack is shown at the right edge of this photo depicting an underground missile launch facility References .
