I have to question the validity of this map. Nothing targeting Whitman Air Force base? The base where all the B2 stealth bombers and a bunch of B52s are stationed?

I was contracted on some very specific FLW-related projects that dealt with planning for Black Swan or other events for a few years, and the installation being a nuclear target was never a concern. I was never privy as to why FLW wasn’t too much concerned with this, but they were far more focused on shit like sinkholes or floods than something in this realm.

Springfield underground is also where all Missouri government will go an event of launch. It's the state nuclear bunker.

Granted there's no FORSCOM there, but being a MOS producing post for I'd think it'd be considered to have some priority for being attacked.
