The Omaha Trophy, which is sponsored by the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) and the STRATCOM Consultation Committee, is awarded each year to U.S. military units with intercontinental ballistic missiles, strategic aircraft, strategic space and information operations, as well as to the best ballistic missile submarine.[1] The trophy is currently presented in four official categories:[2]

  • Global Operations
  • Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
  • Strategic Bomber Operations
  • Submarine Ballistic Missile

Selection for the award in each of the categories is based on formal evaluations, meritorious achievement, safety, and other factors, such as community involvement and humanitarian actions. This is then awarded to a notable person who has followed these values.
