The unclassified report is out and available here:

I have downloaded it and given it a cursory review. It doesn't have a lot of nice things to say about the USAF Bomber Command leg of the Nuclear Triad and at least one thing so far I found disturbing. That said, I will be reading through it in more detail tomorrow and writing up a critique of the report based on my experiences in the field. I invite others here with similar backgrounds to take a look at this and give their impressions as well. My critique will not address any political implications, merely examine the report on the causes and possible remedies viewed through the lens of that experience.
