An 18th Air Refueling Squadron KC-135 Stratotanker prepares to refuel a 963rd Airborne Air Control Squadron E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) during Vigilant Shield 15 on Oct. 23, 2014, at 5 Wing Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The 963rd AACS provided battle management forces and mobile command control, and a communications radar element during training missions flown during the exercise. The Vigilant Shield field training exercise is a bi-national NORAD Command exercise which provides realistic training and practice for American and Canadian forces in support of respective national strategy for North America’s defense. NORAD ensures U.S. and Canadian air sovereignty through a network of alert fighters, tankers, airborne early warning aircraft, and ground-based air defense assets cued by interagency and defense surveillance radars.
