A North American Aerospace Defense Command F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot signals to an Alaska Air National Guard KC-135 Stratotanker boom operator while refueling during Operation POLAR VORTEX over Interior Alaska, Sept. 14, 2024. The continued 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.
