Leg,
Hate to disagree with you, but if you look at the target list given in Howling Wilderness, there are alot of Air Force & Navy land bases that were not nuked. I.e Bangor, WA; Whitman AFB, MO; Ellsworth AFB, SD; NAS Leemore, CA; etc. So there would still be "higher commands" around and personally from my experience in the service I know many Colonels, being very reluctant TDM or not giving up personnel or command to "Lower" ranking officers just because their base/facility is considered "no longer needed". Thus I see if they have to many would go the way of the "Sea Lord of Jacksonville". Furthermore, USAF units (especially support units) would have been dispersed shortly after the first nukes were used, thus the chance of every Air Force unit being nuked out of existence would be slim and the effort to justify them being nuked out of existence you might as well be playing "Gamma World".
Just a few thoughts
