Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander, North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, visits the sonar control room aboard the Arleigh-Burke class guided-missile destroyer USS Mitscher (DDG 57) on Feb. 6, 2021. This visit aboard a guided-missile destroyer (DDG) highlights one of many maritime strategic assets that provide unparalleled sea-based ballistic missile defense capability to the homeland defense mission. No other national asset provides the guided-missile destroyer’s speed of maneuver or dynamic response capability. U.S. Navy guided-missile cruisers and destroyers are uniquely positioned to intercept missiles in the midcourse phase when those ballistic missiles are launched against critical defended targets.
