在共軍其他核武部隊的指揮關係方面,以平時的建制來說,美國科學家協會(Federation of American Scientists)認為,具核攻擊能力的轟六(H-6)轟炸機主要由空軍第四獨立大隊所轄,部署在大同(主要基地)、高孟(Golmond,音譯,分散基地)、安慶以及其他三處不明基地(註12)。不過,根據另外一份較新資料,轟六目前主隸於空軍第八師(耒陽,廣州軍區)、第十師(北安慶,南京軍區)以及第三十六師(武功,蘭州軍區)。另約有數10架強五強擊機部署在空軍第二十八師(嘉興,南京軍區)以及海軍第五師(煙台/萊山,北海艦隊)(註13)。核動力彈道飛彈潛艇為中共海基戰略核威懾能量的主要構成部分。平時歸一般部隊建制,在戰時指揮鏈則會大幅縮短,由中央軍委直接下達部署及攻擊命令。夏級潛艇(092型)建制上隸於北海艦隊的第九潛艇艦隊,不過在指揮系統上由海軍總部直轄(註14)。有消息稱新一代海基戰略核嚇阻094型核彈道飛彈潛艇已於2004年6月下水(註15)。當其正式服役時,據信應與夏級潛艇的指管系統相同(註16)。
