To any other member of the 965th Expeditionary Airborne Air Control Squadron, the five Canadian airmen who work with them are a part of the team. And that's just the way they like it.

Each day the five Canadians work together as part of a crew on an E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control system aircraft supporting missions in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility from an air base in Southwest Asia. Their presence with the 965th EAACS; however, is part of an international partnership between the United States and Canada -- known as the North American Aerospace Defense Command -- dating back to May 12, 1958, when the first agreement was signed. All five of the Canadian airmen live and work at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., the home station of the 965th EAACS.
