[U.S. Northern Command @USNorthernCmd]

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.

On behalf of President Trump and Secretary Hegseth, thank you LTG Curtis Taylor for your service as the First Armored Division and Joint Task Force Southern Border Commander. Your dedication to defending our homeland and all Americans will be long remembered.

USNORTHCOM and @JIATFCC stand with our @GobiernoMX and interagency partners in our shared fight to disrupt and dismantle cartels.

@USAmbMex

[Joint Interagency Task Force - Counter Cartel @JIATFCC]

International and interagency partnership in action.

Echoing @USAmbMex, the apprehension of "El Señor de la A" in Chihuahua underscores sustained U.S.–Mexico intel sharing. Targeting cartel leaders & smuggling networks, transnational criminal orgs find no refuge across borders.

[Department of War 🇺🇸 @DeptofWar]

On Day One, President Trump tasked the Department of War with securing our southern border.

We delivered.

[U.S. Northern Command @USNorthernCmd]

Defending North America demands decisive superiority in the space domain. This week, @NORADCommand and USNORTHCOM welcomed Gen. Douglas Schiess, Chief of Space Operations, and Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force John Bentivegna to our headquarters at Peterson Space Force Base. Leadership engaged on integrated space tracking, missile warning, and the operational synchronization required to safeguard the ultimate high ground. #WeHaveTheWatch

[U.S. Northern Command @USNorthernCmd]

Defending the homeland means staying ahead of multi-domain threats. Gen. Gregory Guillot joined Sen. Deb Fischer and Gen. Michael Guetlein at AFA 2026 to discuss how initiatives like Golden Dome will build a resilient, integrated defense network.

[Air & Space Forces Association @AFA_Air_Space]

From the seabed to space, defending the homeland requires a fully integrated approach. At #AFANational, Gen. Gregory M. Guillot explains how Golden Dome will connect existing capabilities through a unified command-and-control system, enabling operators to respond to threats faster and more effectively.

This week, @NORAD and USNORTHCOM hosted several newly confirmed general and flag officers attending National Defense University’s CAPSTONE program.

As part of the five-week joint professional military education curriculum CAPSTONE Fellows engage directly with Combatant Commanders to examine the employment of joint forces. This visit focused on homeland defense, multi-domain integration, and the shared bi-national NORAD and USNORTHCOM missions dedicated to defending the United States and North America.

Air Forces Northern (@FirstAirForce) teamed up with Mexico's @DefensaMx for Exercise AMALGAM EAGLE 2026.

Alongside partners like @FAA and @CBPAMO, our joint teams successfully tested live-fly air defense and search-and-rescue capabilities—sharpening our tactical edge, refining cross-border communication, and proving our seamless ability to defend our shared airspace.

[@Defensamx @Defensamx1]

En el marco de la Mesa Redonda de Cooperación Bilateral Militar (BMCR) entre México y E.U.A., del 28 de septiembre al 2 de octubre de 2026, integrantes de la Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional, del Componente Aéreo del Comando Norte y las Fuerzas Aéreas del Norte de los E.U.A., participaron en el ejercicio “Amalgam Eagle 2026”, en las fronteras de México y los E.U.A.

Este ejercicio bilateral de defensa aérea con vuelos reales y de búsqueda y rescate, tuvo como propósito mejorar la interoperabilidad y procedimientos de intercambio de información y respuesta a través de escenarios simulados, en atención a vuelos no autorizados, para fortalecer la coordinación y cooperación entre ambos países, bajo los principios de reciprocidad, responsabilidad compartida y diferenciada, confianza mutua y respeto a las decisiones y territorios soberanos.
