“Anyway, maybe figure out how to get into that mountain in Colorado which houses NORAD.”
The old command center for NORAD was located at Cheyenne Mountain. But now the Cheyenne Mountain Colorado Springs complex serves as the Alternate Command Center for NORAD and as a training site for crew qualification. As a result of ongoing operational and security requirements, Cheyenne Mountain NORAD is not open to the general public for tours.
The thinking for command and control has been spread out into locational areas of which there are basically three and backups.
The Alaskan NORAD Region (ANR) conducts aerospace control within its area of operations and contributes to NORAD’s aerospace warning mission. With its headquarters located at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, ANR provides an ongoing capability to detect, validate, and warn of any aircraft and/or cruise missile threat in its area of operations that could threaten North American security.
The Canadian NORAD Region (CANR) is headquartered with the 1 Canadian Air Division in Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANR executes a variety of tasks to defend Canadian airspace, including identifying and tracking all aircraft entering Canadian airspace, exercising operational command and control of all air defense forces in CANR and operations in support of other government departments and agencies. The 1 Canadian Air Division is responsible for providing CANR with combat-ready air forces to meet Canada’s commitment to the defense of North America and maintain the sovereignty of North American airspace.
The Continental U.S. NORAD Region (CONR) provides airspace surveillance and control and directs air sovereignty activities for the continental United States (CONUS). Co-located with Headquarters First Air Force at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, a Combined Air Operations Center coordinates CONR sector activities and executes the NORAD air sovereignty mission for the continental United States. CONR plans, conducts, controls, and coordinates all Air Force forces for the Commander of NORAD. CONR is presently divided into two defense sectors: the Western Air Defense Sector, with its headquarters located at McChord Air Force Base, Washington (now JBLM); and the Eastern Air Defense Sector, with its headquarters located at Rome, New York.
This is all backed with direct lines to aircraft which in this case won’t help much as sub launch puts the projectiles on us in 20 minutes. But it also adds other satellites since they closed pave paws in the mid 1990’s.

Yeah but will it keep me from getting nuked?
For me it’s kind of a joke question but maybe not for some others. As I said believers like me won’t be here when it all comes crashing down. Maybe some other poor soul may need that kid of protection although what’s coming is so horrific, there’ll really be no protection.
