"NORAD has been conducting its routine mission of aerospace warning and aerospace control. ... [we] can confirm we conducted flight activities over Virginia various times over the past couple weeks," a spokesperson from the NORAD/NORTHCOM public affairs office told The War Zone at the time. "USNORTHCOM has been coordinating with [the] FBI, as is consistent with the combatant command’s coordinating role, but I have to refer you to [the] FBI on the nature of that law enforcement issue."
Hmmm this has my devolution sensor tingling a bit. USNORTHCOM? Combatant Command? You mean those guys tasked with mitigating the chaos in the event of a CoG situation?
The 4 star AF general that commands USNORTHCOM commands NORAD. This is absolutely NORAD's job as it has been for decades. That doesn't mean there isn't any CoG going on, but it is 100% something that NORAD is always responsible for.
