And what is on the map with the circles? Is that a geographical map or some sort of system map?
And what shock do the Shock Isolators stop? Shock from a launch?

I was a Launch Control Officer for five years in the mid-80s out of FE Warren AFB in Cheyenne WY. My squadron was the 320th Strategic Missile Squadron with all 5 capsules and 50 missiles were physically in western NE, with the furthest over 100 miles away in Sidney NE. I spent 335 days underground over the 5 year period.
I am assuming the view is from one of the training simulators which are used exact, suspended control centers with a viewing window.
We had no maps in the capsule. Any targeting we did was normal 3-d coordinates, technically we really did not have a “need to know” where the coordinates were located.
