U.S. Air Force F-15C Eagles assigned to the Lousiana Air National Guard 159th Fighter Squadron, fly in formation behind a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, 6th Air Refueling Wing in support of North American Aerospace Defense Command's (NORAD) Operation Noble Defender (OND) June 29, 2022. As part of OND, which is a recurring operation, the continental U.S. NORAD Region (CONR)coordinated and conducted joint operations with the U.S. Navy while concurrently launching jets from different locations across the United States' gulf coast and Puerto Rico. OND, is an integrated air and missle defense operation designed to ensure the defense and security of the northern and southern approaches to North America. This particular OND allowed NORAD units to exercise maneuvers designed to defend the southern approach to the United States from simulated cruise missle threats. NORAD is a bi-national Canadian and American command that employs a network of aerial, ground-based, and space-based sensors, air-to-air refueling tankers, and fighter aircraft controlled by a sophisticated command and control network to deter, detect and defend against aerial threats that originate outside or within North American airspace.
