Powerful Symbolism and Meaningful Messages
The crest of USNORTHCOM is traditional and meaningful to every member of the organization. It is the embodiment of the values, missions, and culture that have defined the teams and individuals working in USNORTHCOM.

Behind the eagle is USNORTHCOM’s area of responsibility: the continental United States, Alaska, Canada, and Mexico. Marked on the map are three gold stars commemorating the sites of the September 11th attacks in 2001.

Above the eagle are five stars symbolizing the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. The stars have 8-points, symbolizing the points of a compass and USNORTHCOM’s mission to combat the global threats of terrorism.
