The article implies that the nuclear forces have already been deployed and targets set - this would be the final instruction to launch (the "go/no go" on that USAF cheat sheet).

Just like in US football the message from Command to the bombers isn't the verbatim target package but just a code telling them which target package to select from their playbook.
