Northeast Air Defense Sector
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS), is a component of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) located at what used to be Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, New York. It is responsible for providing detection and air defense for the U.S. states north of North Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri, with the sector's western perimeter running midway through the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and the western part of Kansas, slicing the panhandle of Oklahoma, and ending at the Red River on the northern border of Texas. The eastern perimeter of the sector is the Atlanta Ocean, and the northern perimeter is the Canadian border.
NEADS is operated by the Air National Guard (ANG) and reports to the Continental U.S. NORAD Region (CONR) headquarters, in Panama City, Florida, which in turn reports to NORAD headquarters, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
