The nuclear football is a
briefcase, the contents of which are to be used by the President of the United
States to authorize a nuclear attack while away from fixed command centers,
such as the White House Situation Room or the Presidential Emergency Operations
Center.
It functions as a mobile
hub in the strategic defense system of the United States. It is held by an
aide-de-camp.
