E-4B Nightwatch • Exterior B-roll Footage
Raw Exterior B-roll Video by Staff Sgt. Franklin Harris and Jon Zanone 2D Audiovisual Squadron
Mission
The E-4B "Nightwatch" serves as the National Airborne Operations Center and is a key component of the National Military Command System for the President, the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In case of national emergency or destruction of ground command and control centers, the aircraft provides a highly survivable command, control and communications center to direct U.S. forces, execute emergency war orders, and coordinate actions by civil authorities. The conduct of E-4B operations encompasses all phases of the threat spectrum. Additionally, the E-4B provides outside the continental United States travel support for the Secretary of Defense and his staff to ensure Title 10 command and control connectivity.
Features
The E-4B, a militarized version of the Boeing 747-200, is a four-engine, swept-wing, long-range, high-altitude airplane capable of refueling in flight. The main deck is divided into six functional areas: a command work area, conference room, briefing room, an operations team work area, communications area and rest area. An E-4B may include seating for up to 111 people, including a joint-service operations team, Air Force flight crew, maintenance and security component, communications team and selected augmentees.
The E-4B is protected against the effects of electromagnetic pulse and has an electrical system designed to support advanced electronics and a wide variety of communications equipment. An advanced satellite communications system provides worldwide communication for senior leaders through the airborne operations center. Other improvements include nuclear and thermal effects shielding, acoustic control, an improved technical control facility and an upgraded air-conditioning system for cooling electrical components.
To provide direct support to the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the JCS, at least one E-4B is always generated as a NAOC and on alert 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a global watch team at one of many bases selected throughout the world.
In addition to its national and NC3 mission, the E-4B provides support to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which provides communications and command center capability to relief efforts following natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes.
Air Force Global Strike Command is the Air Force single-resource manager for the E-4B, and provides aircrew, maintenance, security and communications support. E-4B operations are directed by the JCS and executed through U.S. Strategic Command. USSTRATCOM also provides personnel for the NAOC battle staff.
Background
The E-4B evolved from the E-4A, which had been in service since late 1974. The first B model was delivered to the Air Force in January 1980, and by 1985 all aircraft were converted to B models. All E-4B aircraft are assigned to the 595th Command and Control Group at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska. The 595th C2G aligned under Eighth Air Force Oct. 1, 2016.

    shell never be put in combat, this is marketing. its a fact and is proven that woman cannot physically handle flying a fast mover with the Gs needed as capable as the men. and when you talking about +20 million dollar crafts they only put the best of the best in combat. shes not, best female, maybe.. they simply do not have the strength or endurance to fight with the Gs, to the degree any male pilot can. these are the most physically fit ppl in the air force for a reason. again this a is proven fact. the men themselves have reached the human limit that we can achieve today. the next step is AI controlled jets where gforce strain will only effect the aircraft itself putting noone in danger. a human cannot fly as hard as a computer. we've maxed out, even with g suit that squeeze the blood into your brain. this is why the females that do go into combat fly helis and a10s

    What was any of this for? I mean, at least our troops got some fighting experience I guess. Just a fucking waste though, lives, money, mental health, peace, etal.. Some shithole desert in the middle of nowhere that most Americans can’t point out on a map. After 20 years we leave, and there’s people literally holding onto our airplanes falling to their death. Any of our veterans ask themselves what this was for, it’s going to be hard to come up with anything. Military industrial complex needs to make it a huge investment in our society, our infrastructure, our social services. They charge ridiculous amounts for these weapons, and they probably lobby for us to go to war, filling, politicians, and leaders pockets with gold so we can buy more weapons. That’s what’s going on with Ukraine right now. Another place Americans can’t point out on a map.
