Operation Chrome Dome was a United States Air Force Cold-War era mission from 1960 to 1968 in which B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber aircraft armed with thermonuclear weapons remained on continuous airborne alert, flying routes to points on the Soviet Union border. == Background == During the Cold War, General Thomas S. Power initiated a program whereby B-52s performed airborne alert duty under code names such as ''Head Start'', ''Chrome Dome'', ''Hard Head'', ''Round Robin'',〔(USAF: ''Lakenheath AFB Libery Wing'' )〕 and ''Operation Giant Lance''. Bombers loitered near points outside the Soviet Union to provide rapid first strike or retaliation capability in case of nuclear war.〔(US Nuclear Weapons Deployments Disclosed ), Nautilus Institute (History of the Custody and Deployment of Nuclear Weapons: July 1945 to September 1977 )〕
