1010 Cheyenne Mountain NORAD

The 1010th unit at Cheyenne Mountain, commonly associated with the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, has played a pivotal role in North American aerospace defense since its activation in the early 1960s. Located deep within Colorado's granite mountain, the unit has been integral to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), monitoring airspace for potential threats during the Cold War and into the present day. Over the decades, the 1010 Cheyenne Mountain team has adapted to evolving threats, expanding its mission to include missile warning, space surveillance, and homeland defense coordination. Today, it remains a key component in maintaining the security of the United States and Canada, leveraging advanced technology and joint U.S.-Canadian command structures.
