Canadian–American relationship reaches new heights
Feb 26, 2019 – For more than 60 years, Canadian military members and their families have been in southern Colorado, typically stationed at the headquarters of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). This recent New Year’s Eve presented a first-of-a-kind opportunity for one member of the group.

Russian jets intercepted off Alaskan coast by U.S. & Canadian forces
Aug 9, 2019
Aug 9, 2019
American and Canadian fighter jets intercepted a pair of Russian Tu-95 Bear bombers in international airspace off the coast of Alaska on Thursday, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
Two U.S. F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets and two Canadian CF-18 Hornet fighters on Thursday morning intercepted the long-range, nuclear-capable Russian bombers north of Alaska over the Beaufort Sea, NORAD said in a statement. The Russian aircraft were within the Alaskan and Canadian Air Defense Identification Zones, which stretch roughly 200 miles from the U.S. and Canadian coasts. Both nations expect aircraft entering the area to positively identify themselves in the interest of national security.
This marked the second time this month that Russian aircraft were observed in the area. NORAD said two Tu-142 Russian maritime reconnaissance anti-submarine warfare aircraft entered the zone west of Alaska on Aug. 1, but they were not intercepted at that time.
The Russian planes never entered sovereign American or Canadian airspace in either incident, NORAD said.
“NORAD’s top priority is defending Canada and the United States. NORAD operators identified and intercepted the Russian aircraft flying near our nations,” Air Force Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy, the NORAD commander, said in a statement about Thursday’s incident.
The command released photographs of the incident showing the fighters flanking the Cold War-era, quad-propeller bombers.
Russian military aircraft flying near the United States is not uncommon. The two August incidents are the first reported by the U.S. military since May, when F-22s intercepted Russian Bear bombers and Su-35 Flanker fighters on May 20 and May 21. A similar intercept was reported in January.
The United States conducts flights near Russian airspace on a regular basis at times. U.S. defense officials, however, have sometimes raised concerns about the Russian response to such flights, accusing pilots of conducting unsafe or unprofessional intercepts.
On June 4, the Pentagon accused a Russian pilot of making a “high speed pass” about 150 feet directly in front of a Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime surveillance and anti-submarine plane, putting the aircraft’s “pilots and crew at risk,” according to a Navy statement.
O’Shaughnessy stated in April in written testimony to Congress that Russian aircraft patrols near American and Canadian airspace “have grown increasingly complex in recent years.”
The general warned Russian leaders were unlikely to back off those flights, which he said were meant “to underscore Russia’s capabilities.”
“Russian bomber crews are demonstrating increasing proficiency in their flight activities, developing a new generation of air crews capable of employing this highly visible implement of Russian deterrence and messaging in peacetime, crisis, and war,” O’Shaughnessy wrote to lawmakers.

Canada, U.S. have lost military edge over Russia in the Arctic: Norad commander
Feb 13, 2020
Feb 13, 2020
OTTAWA — The commander of North America’s aging early-warning system says the United States and Canada have lost their military advantage in the Arctic to Russia.
U.S. Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy shared his assessment with a U.S. Senate committee this morning, where the commander of the North American Aerospace Defence Command painted a gloomy picture about the growing number of threats to the continent.
O’Shaughnessy says Russia has steadily expanded its military presence in the Arctic, which includes upgrading its long-range bombers, naval fleet and fielding land-based cruise missiles capable of striking the U.S. and Canada.
He says that means the Arctic is now an avenue through which Russia can quickly attack against North American targets, rather than a place to guard against that possibility.
O’Shaughnessy says China has also been developing more advanced weapons that put North America at risk and is increasingly flexing its muscles in the Arctic, while concerns remain about Iran and North Korea acquiring the technology capable of hitting the continent.
The Norad commander says the myriad threats underscore the need to modernize North America’s defensive systems, which were last upgraded in the 1980s, to properly detect and deter attacks from Russia and other potential adversaries.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 13, 2020.

21 Squadron member in North Bay takes Norad's top award
Published Nov 03, 2020
Published Nov 03, 2020
A 15-year veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force has received Norad’s top award.
Warrant Officer Danette Weyh, who was born and raised on the south coast of Labrador, has served as an air surveillance technician and mission crew commander technician with 21 Aerospace Control and Warning Squadron at 22 Wing/CFB North Bay since 2016.
She was recently presented the 2019 annual command awards – junior non-commissioned officer.
During her career, Weyh completed her aerospace control operator training at the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Control Operations and was posted to 21 Squadron.
In 2009, she was posted to the North American Aerospace Defense Command and United States Northern Command command centre in Colorado Springs, where she became the senior non-commissioned member air dopmain evaluator for the centre.
While at Colorado Springs, Weyh served as a member of the Joint Color Guard for two-and-a-half years, taking part in numerous high-profile events, including two Wounded Warrior Games ceremonies.
She was posted to the Combat Operations Centre at 4 Wing, Cold Lake, Alta., in 2013.
“I was very proud to represent Canada and humbled to have been awarded the Norad award for junior non-commissioned officer,” Weyh says.
“Working with the team at 21 Aerospace Control & Warning Squadron and the Wing, along with the unwavering support of my family, provided me with the opportunity to succeed.”
Weyh, the citation says, “performed multiple evaluations, and directed the air surveillance technician squadron training day. She supervised more than 20 personnel, was the focal point for inbound squadron members, and selected as the alternate unit security supervising officer.”
The award program, established to recognize personnel for outstanding accomplishments during the calendar year, applies to all U.S. and Canadian forces personnel assigned to Norad and USnorthcom, including subordinate and component members, including the Canadian air defence sector.
Award categories include officer, enlisted and civilian.
