Today marks the 24th birthday of U.S. Northern Command!
Activated on October 1, 2002, in the aftermath of September 11, USNORTHCOM was established to defend the homeland and coordinate Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA).
From deterring strategic threats across our air and maritime approaches to deploying surge capabilities alongside federal partners during hurricanes, wildfires, and national crises, our joint force remains trained, postured, and ready.
Thank you to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Guardians, Coast Guardsmen, civilian teammates, and international allies who keep our nation safe every single day.
We Have the Watch.
