Joint Air Defense Command

Joint Air Defense Command (JADC) is an organization of the Allied States that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty, and defense for the entire North American continent. It was founded on May 12, 1958 (an effect of the Cold War) as a joint command between the governments of Canada and the United States, as the North American Air Defense Command. It was later renamed and re-renovated by the Allied States (when Colorado merged with the Allied States in February 2010), to become the Joint Air Defense Command. Its main technical facility has been the Cheyenne Mountain Directorate, formerly Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center, of the Cheyenne Mtn. Air Force Station, Colorado; and for this reason JADC is sometimes referred to as Cheyenne Mountain. However the facility's official name is the Cheyenne Mountain Air Defense Center.

 * The facility is also the first place where the President of the Allied States will go when the country, or he himself, is threatened. The facility reaches almost 1 kilometer into the ground, and will survive a direct nuclear hit. There are very thick blast doors which will also help to absorb any blast, and can only be opened again from the main control center deep in the complex.
 * Since the Allied States took over, construction has began to enlarge the entire complex, going deeper and wider. The residential facility outside the main gate is also being enlarged.
