The center is responsible for securing an 850-mile stretch of the northern border with Canada, reaching from the Great Lakes region west into Montana, a corridor that demands persistent aerial coverage across open terrain and extreme seasonal conditions. NASOC-GF operates fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft systems, making it one of the most operationally diverse AMO locations in the country. The center also runs one of the only MQ-9 UAS pilot and sensor operator training programs outside the Department of Defense, and the only such program within federal law enforcement. Beyond enforcement, the unit supports disaster relief and emergency response alongside federal, state, local, and tribal partners, extending its reach well beyond the border mission. A consolidated facility opened in 2019 brought manned and unmanned operations under one roof on GFAFB, reflecting the center's growing role in both training and active airborne law enforcement. This shoulder patch represents that full mission identity in embroidered form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: CBP Air and Marine Operations personnel, NASOC-GF veterans and current agents, MQ-9 UAS pilots and sensor operators trained at Grand Forks, federal law enforcement aviation collectors, northern border security supporters, shadow box displays, uniform collections, reunion keepsakes, and anyone building a serious AMO or DHS aviation patch collection.
