Air Force Gen. Terrence. J. O’Shaughnessy, outgoing commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, relinquishes the USNORTHCOM guidon to U.S. Secretary of Defense Dr. Mark T. Esper during a change of command ceremony at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., Aug. 20, 2020. NORAD is a bi-national command between the U.S. and Canada charged with the missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America while USNORTHCOM partners to conduct homeland defense, civil support and security cooperation to defend and secure the U.S. and its interests. The two commands have complementary missions and are co-located together on Peterson AFB. Air Force Gen. Glen D. VanHerck took command from O’Shaughnessy, who retired after 34 years of military service. (U.S. Department of Defense photo by Thomas Paul)
