Elmendorf Air Force Base Top Cover For North America T-Shirt

The “Top Cover for North America” is the motto Elmendorf Air Force Base earned for its critical role in continental air defense. During the Cold War, particularly as tensions grew with the Soviet Union, Elmendorf AFB became increasingly important due to its strategic location in Alaska, only 44 miles from the former Soviet territory across the Bering Strait.

This moniker describes the essential duty of the Alaskan Air Command (AAC), headquartered at Elmendorf, to provide an air shield for the continent. Beginning in the late 1950s and through the Cold War, fighter interceptor squadrons flying aircraft like the F-102 and later the F-15s were stationed there on perpetual alert. Their task was to monitor and intercept any aircraft approaching North American airspace, making the Alaskan region the first line of defense and literal “Top Cover.” This tradition continues today as Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson houses the Alaskan NORAD Region.
