The history of the Unified Command Plan 1946-1993 - Washington, D.C.: Joint History Office, 1995 - 157p.
Traces fifty years of development of unified command of the U.S. armed forces, including its origins in the Second World War; command arrangements for the Vietnam War; the control of strategic nuclear forces; STRATCOM, TRANSCOM and USACOM. UCP's provisions demonstrate a gradual move away from protection of traditional Service prerogatives towards more unity of effort.
