Pakistan Naval Strategic Force Command

“This May 19 announcement”:http://www.ispr.gov.pk/front/main.asp?o=t-press_release&id=2067#pr_link2067 from the Pakistani government
explains that

bq. Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Mohammad Asif Sandila today inaugurated the newly constructed Headquarters of the Naval Strategic Force Command (NSFC).

The Chief said that the occasion marked “the formal establishment of the Naval Strategic Force Command of Pakistan.” That might not be terribly remarkable, but I am intrigued by the description of the Strategic Force as

bq. the custodian of the nation’s 2nd strike capability

Not quite sure what that means…
