Canadian NORAD Region assigned forces often deploy to other locations to conduct various air missions and training. While at these locations, they conduct missions in the same professional manner as they do while at their home station. Main operating bases, deployed operating bases, and forward operating locations give NORAD the ability to ensure a rapid and ready response.
