Gen. Glen VanHerck, Commander, North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, and Sgt. Maj. James Porterfield, Command Senior Enlisted Leader, NORAD and USNORTHCOM, are provided an operational overview of the Long Range Discrimination Radar by senior hardware engineer Sonya Read on Clear Space Force Station, Alaska, May 4, 2022. The leadership team traveled to Clear SFS to meet with leaders and tour the Upgraded Early Warning Radar and LRDR under the purview of Clear SFS. Clear SFS has been a vital part of the integral deterrence in support of NORAD’s mission of Homeland Defense since the U. S. Air Force set up Ballistic Missile Early Warning Systems and became fully operational in November of 1961. (Department of Defense photo by Chuck Marsh)
