Background

Atlantic Air CINC is the Commander of the United States Atlantic Command.

During the events of Independence Day (1996) played by Kevin Cooney

After the Harvesters' spaceships show up, Albert Nimziki tells Atlantic Air CINC to upgrade to DEFCON 3. A Commanding Officer walks in and tells the group that the object has split into multiple smaller objects and will be entering their atmosphere soon. On the USS Georgia, Lieutenant is told by Sailor that they are suffering from radar black out, but the infrared shows a large object coming their way. Lieutenant then calls Atlantic Air CINC. A Commanding Officer is told by Second Officer that an object has been spotted over Iraq , which Commanding Officer repeats to Atlantic Air CINC. General William Grey tells President Thomas J. Whitmore about another object heading towards California. General Grey tells President Whitmore that they have an AWACS off the Pacific Coast as Lincoln is on the phone. Radar Techs tell Pilots that side radar is picking up nothing. The Pilots relay this information, but their AWACS explodes when it makes contact with the suddenly appearing large object. Military Aide says they lost the signal and Atlantic Air CINC tells everyone two more objects have been spotted heading towards New York City and Washington, D.C. The Master C.P.O. is talking on the phone as Nimziki tells Whitmore's Aide to organize a military escort, but President Whitmore decides he is staying.
