U.S. Air National Guard Staff Sgt. Eric Moreno, 162d Wing Aerospace Control Alert Detachment crew chief, salutes General Gregory Guillot, (top left), Commander, North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, and Maj. David Fontagneres, (top right), prior to takeoff at 162d WG ACA Detachment at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., Nov. 22, 2024. The 162d WG ACA mission is part of a national network of fully loaded aircraft, ready to respond to airborne threats or aggression at a moment’s notice. This mission provides NORAD a means to quickly request air assistance for security patrols or to react to acts of terrorism or other potentially harmful airborne threats. NORAD provides the ‘big picture’ of the North American airspace and detects, identifies, and monitors all airborne aircraft over the country. When necessary, NORAD calls upon one of the alert sites to respond to potential airborne threats and aggression. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Airman Guadalupe Beltran)
