North American Aerospace Defense Command F-16 Fighting Falcons pilots conduct final checks on September 11, 2024 before departing Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The F-16’s supported OPERATION POLAR VORTEX and provided integration training with Navy assets in the Alaska Theater of Operations. Continuing our presence in the Arctic through training and operations demonstrates how NORAD and U.S. Northern Command campaign daily in coordination with mission partners to deter aggression; enhance deterrence, stability and resilience; advance capabilities and posture; and detect and respond to threats in support of the layered defense of our nations.
