Which of the following lists the three NORAD regions?

• A. Alaskan region (ANR); Canadian region (CANR); Eastern Air Defense Sector
• B. Alaskan region (ANR); Canadian region (CANR); Continental United States region (CONR)
• C. Canadian region (CANR); Continental United States region (CONR); Western Air Defense Sector
• D. Alaskan region (ANR); Continental United States region (CONR); Eastern Air Defense Sector

Answer: (B)

NORAD organizes air defense into three geographic regions: the Alaskan region, the Canadian region, and the Continental United States region. The three regions together cover all of North America, with ANR handling Alaska, CANR covering Canada, and CONR overseeing the continental United States. The other choices mix in sectors like the Eastern and Western Air Defense Sectors, which are not separate regions but divisions within CONR, so they don’t represent the NORAD regional structure. Thus, listing Alaskan region, Canadian region, and Continental United States region correctly identifies all three NORAD regions.
