US Strategic Command apologised on Monday, 31 December, for a joke in "bad taste" after tweeting it was ready to drop something "much bigger" than the traditional Times Square crystal ball at New Year.
STRATCOM - whose slogan is "peace is our profession" - later tweeted an apology.
"Our previous NYE tweet was in poor taste & does not reflect our values. We apologize. We are dedicated to the security of America & allies," it said.
A STRATCOM spokesperson told NBC News the images on the video showed non-nuclear bombs.
