U.S. Northern Command

On Veterans Day, the personnel of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) honor the generations of military service members who have answered the call to defend the United States.

The defense of the homeland rests upon the enduring foundation established by veterans across every era, domain, and conflict. Their courage, selfless dedication, and commitment to the nation continue to inspire the active-duty, National Guard, and Reserve service members who stand the watch today.

From securing sovereign aerospace and maritime approaches to deploying in support of civil authorities during domestic crises, the joint force carries that proud legacy forward 24/7/365. Thank you to all veterans and military families for your service and sacrifice in defense of freedom.

We Have the Watch.

Marines play a vital role across USNORTHCOM's multi-domain homeland defense mission. Operating through @MARFORCOM (MARFORNORTH), Marines provide rapid-response expeditionary combat capabilities, littoral defense, and cold-weather operational readiness across the theater.

Along the southern border, Marines assigned to @JointTFSB deliver essential mobile ground surveillance and barrier engineering under Operation Ardent Vanguard. Furthermore, through the Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF), Marines stand on continuous alert to deploy specialized chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear consequence management capabilities in support of civil authorities.

Semper Fidelis to all Marines serving across the joint force and throughout the nation.
