The Omaha Trophy is the highest honor bestowed upon a nuclear enterprise unit by a civilian organization.
The award was created in 1971 by the Strategic Air Command Consultation Committee and awarded to the command’s best wing. The SCC, an advisory group of Omaha business leaders, later became the Strategic Command Consultation Committee after the current USSTRATCOM’s activation in 1992.
