Good article. Just a few comments.

First, the list of Air Divisions is incomplete. Missing include the 20th, 21st, 23rd, 24th, 27th, 31st, 34th, 35th and 36th. (The NORAD Divisions in Canada, e.g. 40th, 41st, etc. are beyong the scope of this article, although Air Division sectors did not stop at the border). ADC frequently redrew the map and redesignate ADs, most notably in late 1969. At that time, for example,35AD (Hancock Field, NY) absorbed 36AD (Topsham AFS, ME) and then was redesignated 21AD, while 33AD (Fort Lee AFS, VA) absorbed 32AD (Gunter AFB, AL) and 31AD (Oklahoma City AFS, OK, George Bush's AD) and was redesignated 20AD.

Second, when the BOMARC missile was phased out, the SAGE guidance sytem (TDDL, Time-Division Data Link) continued to be used for sending commands to Nike missiles and intertceptor autopilots.

Third, I take issue with the statement that "Most" ADC units were inactivated (deactivated?) by 1970. While ADs were consolidated (as noted above), and the radar screen was thinned by closing some radar stations inland, "most" units, of which Radar Squadrons and Air Defense Groups (Radar Squadrons with BUIC computers) were the majority, continued operating well into the 70's.

Fourth, the map of bases with active-duty fighter-interceptor squadrons covers the list of names and I don't know how to fix it. Also, it would be nice if it included bases which had Air National Guard fighter-interceptor squadrons on five-minute alert under ADC control since 1954.

I vaguely recall that the abbrevation changed from ADC to ADCOM in 1975 when ADC became a specified command (or maybe 1968 when it became Aerospace Defense Command). In any case, I know it was ADCOM officially before its remnants became ADTAC - perhaps this should be included (or is and I just missed it) somewhere in the article or not if it's considered too nit picky.... jmdeur 16:45 25 April 2008 (UTC)
