Welcome Newcomers

UOD UPDATE: As of 7 January, 2013, the Uniform of the Day is Warrior throughout the week.

If you have orders to NORAD or USNORTHCOM, welcome to the team! We anxiously await your arrival. You will be assigned a sponsor from the command very soon who will help guide your relocation. The websites listed below may help to answer some of your initial questions.

First, please review the NORAD/USNORTHCOM Websites. These websites were written to explain our joint commands.

Next, you are probably interested in learning something about our wonderful city of Colorado Springs and our local attractions.

Our Command is located on Peterson Air Force Base. The Base Guide describes some of the services available on our base to include information on the Joint Personal Property Shipping Office (the office in charge of moving your household items). The Peterson Visitors Center is located at the West Gate on Stewart Ave. The Visitors Center is a great place to meet your sponsor.

To assist with your move, you may want to visit the Peterson AFB Housing Office and the Automated Housing Referral Network.

For more information on your new assignment as well as a more in-depth look at NORAD and USNORTHCOM, Peterson AFB and the Colorado Springs area, download and read the NORAD and USNORTHCOM Headquarters Sight Picture.
