I believe most American nuclear sites have multiple silos, so there is a likelihood of at least some of them surviving.

Well its mention that there are several dozens of these underground rocket-launching site and atomic bomb factory's spread across the country so having several out of use due some reason means that the United States still can launch nuclear armed rockets to the enemy with those that remain.

That is likely. The US tends to plan for all sorts of contingencies.

I would also assume those underground rocket-launching site and atomic bomb factory's are primary located in Colorado, Arizona, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and other western states away from heavily populated cities as the missile silos that are used today.

This is correct.

If you look at planned or hypothesized Soviet targets, a lot are in the Rocky Mountain states.

I do wonder if the interceptor rockets are also fired from the underground rocket-launching site and atomic bomb factory's ore that they have their own dedicated underground rocket-launching sites.

I believe interceptors are also fired from underground silos.

it is better that they have their own underground rocket-launching sites because switching every time from interceptor rockets to nuclear rockets and back if needed takes time, some thing they most likely did not have during the 36-Hour War.

That strikes me as more reasonable.

They unlike the underground rocket-launching site and atomic bomb factory's who are located in the center of the United States will be located most likely at the coast so they can intercept enemy nuclear rockets coming in.

That makes sense; considering the US is a naval power it's logical that they defend their coastal cities (which are quite populous) with all the effort they can muster.

That is true i also can believe that by the end of the 36-Hour War the underground rocket-launching site and atomic bomb factory's will be the only nuclear arsenal the United States has left as the enemy most likely has targeted Strategic Air Command
(SAC basses across the country.

Also the United States has go more bombers in the form of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress and the Convair B-36 Peacemaker (flew in 1946 thus in service in 1948) as it main bombers while the enemy (lets not kid our self it is the Soviet Union) only has reverse-engineered copy of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress called the Tupolev Tu-4 in its innovatory.

Makes sense; at any point in the Cold War the US was more likely to survive a nuclear exchange than the Soviet Union.

But the Soviet Union is much larger, plus if the enemy has their first launch sites located in equatorial Africa it will take some time by the United States to react that the attack did not come directly from the enemy homeland but from secret rocket-launching sites.

How do you think the Soviets would get bases in Africa? Angola and Mozambique didn't become independent until the seventies I think.
