Changes at NORAD

The headquarters for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center will become the Cheyenne Mountain Directorate. What this means is that command will no longer be running 24-7, but instead will be on "warm standby." You can read the news release on this on the NORAD web site. The Denver Post's "Cheyenne Mountain on Standby"(this link will be good for 14 days, after that you can find the Denver Post through an online database like LexisNexis Academic) analyzes this move in more detail.
