Defending America’s skies is an around-the-clock, no-fail mission. This task is carried out by the men and women of the 101st Air and Space Operations Group (AOG), providing the primary manpower to the 601st Air Operations Center (AOC). Their North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) mission is to provide the air defense shield for the continental United States, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
