Section 1 – CMAFS Mission Overview (Rev 28 Feb 13)

Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station (CMAFS) is home to the AFSPC 721st

Mission Support Group which provides unsurpassed installation support to the North

American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)-USNORTHERN Command

Alternate Command Center, the USSTRATCOM Missile Warning Center, the

Defense Intelligence Agency Western Regional CONUS Support Center (WRCSC), the Air Force Technical Applications Center research laboratory, Detachment 2, 17th

Test Squadron, and other national strategic missions. The 721st Mission Support

Group is comprised of the 721st Communications Squadron, 721st Security Forces

Squadron, 721st Civil Engineer Squadron, Commander’s Support Staff, and the Test

Control Division

MISSION: Operate and sustain missile/air warning and space situational awareness systems and a survivable, reliable, and secure installation for "No-Fail" domination from the high ground for America and its allies

VISION: Innovative and disciplined leaders -- evolving Cheyenne Mountain's capabilities to meet the demands of No-Fail missions

SECTION

Base Description

Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station (CMAFS) is located

7 miles / 11 kilometers south of downtown Colorado

Springs, Colorado, located in El Paso County and consists of 568 acres / 230 hectares. CMAFS is located at about

7,000 feet (ft) / 2,134 meters (m) above mean sea level

(MSL), approximately 1,000 ft / 305 m higher in elevation above MSL than the city of Colorado Springs. Cheyenne

Mountain is located on the southern end of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains; the same range as Pikes Peak, a famous landmark and tourist attraction in the area.

CMAFS is easily accessed from Colorado State Highway

115 off of Interstate Highway 25, a major north/south arterial through Colorado.

Figure 2-1

Location Map

CMAFS refers to the installation as a whole and consists of two operational elements: underground facilities and above ground facilities. Support facilities not required to be inside the mountain are located outside of the North Portal entrance to the mountain and along NORAD Road in two areas (the 100 and 300 building complexes). These facilities house the Civil Engineer Division, Security

Forces Operations, and the Civil Engineer-Heavy Repair

Section. The second element of CMAFS, the Cheyenne

Mountain Complex (CMC) is located within the mountain

(underground), surrounded by 2,000 ft of granite. Winding up the slopes of Cheyenne Mountain, NORAD Road leads directly to the secured entrance of the CMC, and provides impressive views of the mountains and plains. All operations required to track missiles and air or space vehicles are housed in a complex of 15 steel buildings within the mountain.

The CMC encompasses over 200,000 square ft of interior space in freestanding buildings set upon 1,319, 1,000-pound steel spring shock absorbers. Massive blast doors, each more than three feet thick, seal the complex from the outside elements during emergencies. The CMC is a windowless city set in a grid of excavated chambers within which the buildings have been built.

t w o

CMAFS has a work force of civilian, contractor, officer and enlisted personnel; none ofwhich reside on the installation.

Due to the ramifications of “warm-standby” status the facility must be manned 24 hours a day 7 days a week in order to achieve full operational status within the required one-hour notice.

2.1 Base Layout

CMAFS has a unique layout due to its principal mission area residing underground. The base is separated into three primary building complexes linked by NORAD Road climbing from the main gate, up the mountain to the North

Portal.

The first developed area consists of the initial checkpoint or

Main Gate, Visitor Processing Facility, facility support activities (large warehousing and Heavy Repair area), Consolidated Training Facility (CTF), several parking lots, Fire Department Training Facility and Mountain Man Park recreation area.

The second area of development, residing at the top of

NORAD road, includes the James E. Hill Technical

Support Facility, Security Operations Building, Sally Port, microwave facility including large antennas, the Water

Plant and two large parking lots. This area is immediately adjacent the North Portal.

The third area of development is the CMC itself. The CMC can be divided into two major components: an operations / administrative complex composed of 12 interconnected buildings and the industrial areas linked to these buildings.

This area consists of several buildings, a power plant, water storage chambers and numerous chambers and adits in which all of the industrial support functions exist.

2.2 Character Areas

The installation is divided into five separate and distinct character areas that have been treated differently with respect to building exteriors. These five areas are defined by visual district, architectural compatibility and function. These areas are listed below and requirements for each are briefly discussed in the following paragraphs.

Character Areas contains a list of all facilities identified by character area.

Section Five provides a detailed examination of each of the character areas.

2.2.1 Support and Administrative Character Area

As depicted on Figure 2-2, this character area stretches the length of NORAD Road from the Main Gate up to the

North Portal. It is comprised of all support and administrative buildings including the Main Gate, Visitor

Center, Racquetball Courts Building, Group Support

Facility and Security Forces Operations Facility. The area nestled in the bend of NORAD Road is also included in this area as the site for future administrative build up.

2.2.2 Warehouse/Industrial/Maintenance Character

Area

Also known as the “300” area due to the facility numbering, this area is home to all industrial and maintenance functions. Large, warehouse-type structures equipped with overhead doors are typical in this area.

Various materials and equipment storage buildings, Fire Department storage and wash rack are all included. The st

MSG Training Facility and the Fire Department Training Facility are also located in this area.

2.2.3 Recreation Character Area

Mountain Man Park is home to all outdoor recreation activities at CMAFS. It is located southeast of the 300 area and is complete with a softball field, outdoor pavilions, basketball court and a jogging trail. Secondary facilities include various storage facilities for outdoor recreation equipment. Visual dichotomy is important to this area to help counterbalance the psychological effects of working underground.

2.2.4 Cheyenne Mountain Complex Character Area

CMAFS presents a unique situation due to its underground development. The CMC character area consists of all facilities within Cheyenne Mountain including the tunnels and passageways. Types of facilities include operational entities and the industrial facilities that support the mission.

Facilities Excellence is based primarily on the interior of the buildings and innovative ways to create an aboveground feeling in an underground work environment.

2.3 Unique Working Environment

Ample time, effort and space within the granite confines are devoted to support functions to make the subterranean community self-sufficient. These tasks range from maintaining a standby power plant and providing uninterruptible power supplies to maintaining water systems and organizing a security force.

With an operation contingent composed of hundreds of people, the city under the mountain must provide for the creature comforts of its people. For example, the Granite

Inn serves meals inside the mountain. Personnel support functions such as an aid station and dispensary are also provided. In the event of a crisis, a twenty-bed ward can be set up. The CMC also has a Base Exchange snack bar and a physical conditioning center.

This windowless environment is unique and brings with it atypical challenges due to the environment and total lack of windows, sunlight and exterior views typically found in aboveground work environments. Mental health and general morale are key components of a successfully operating cohesive unit. A breakdown in the chain of command could prove devastating in the event of a disaster, particularly with the time-sensitive operations that take place in the CMOC. For these reasons, proper Facilities

Excellence Plan (FEP) guidance and follow through is crucial to operational ability. The FEP is written to be cognizant of these challenges and offers innovative ideas and solutions to combat these specific problems.

2.4 History

Construction of the CMC in 1962

In 1957, Canada and the United States agreed to establish

North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) as a bi-national command for air defense against an attack by

Soviet bombers. Preliminary planning for an underground combat operations center had begun in 1956. In May 1961 construction was initiated on the mountain complex. In

1967, NORAD discontinued operations at its aboveground center in Colorado Springs and commenced operations from within Cheyenne Mountain.

NORAD's mission grew quickly in the 1960s and 1970s.

During this time, the U.S. strategic policy accepted the concept of vulnerability to intercontinental ballistic missile attack both from land- and space-based launch sites. In response to the possibility of a space-launched attack, a

1981 NORAD agreement changed the command's name from the North American "Air" Defense Command to the

North American "Aerospace" Defense Command.

In the early 1990s, Desert Storm created the need to provide Theater Ballistic Missile Warning (TBMW) for deployed forces. The use of Defense Support Program

Satellites, with the capability to detect heat from missile and booster plumes, provided warning to civilian populations and coalition forces in Israel and Saudi Arabia during the war.

The lessons learned during the Gulf War highlighted the importance of being able to provide timely TBMW to our deployed forces. Today, Cheyenne Mountain Directorate

(CMD) has refined this process and is capable of detecting theater ballistic missiles and communicating those threats to the theater commander as soon as they emerge.

On 11 September 2001, Cheyenne Mountain added another mission to its historic legacy in the defense of North

America. The terrorist attacks against the United States marked the beginning of Operation Noble Eagle.

Operation Noble Eagle is a homeland defense mission incorporating NORAD’s mission of Aerospace Warning and Control to include the monitoring of the interior airspace of Canada and the United States. Today, NORAD and CMD stand ready to assist the Federal Aviation

Administration and NAV CANADA in responding to any threatening or hostile domestic aircraft.

USNORTHCOM and USTRATCOM were welcomed to

Cheyenne Mountain 1 October 2002. CMD is responsible for providing support to USNORTHCOM’s mission of homeland defense and USSTRATCOM’s mission of space and missile warning, formerly associated with

USSPACECOM.

The most recent milestone in the evolution of Cheyenne

Mountain took place 13 May 2008 in the celebration of

NORAD’s 50 th anniversary; a representation of half a century of bi-national cooperation between Canada and the

United States. The celebration was paired with the mission change of the CMC to a “warm-standby” state as well as the relocation of the operational entities to Peterson AFB.

Today, Cheyenne Mountain is maintained to provide operational and systems training for the mission and, in the case of a catastrophic event, full operational status in one hours notice.

Facilities Excellence

Facilities Excellence is a never-ending quest to provide people a pleasant, attractive work environment that enhances productivity and promotes pride in the workforce.

An essential ingredient in achieving this goal is having well-understood, accepted and approved standards on furnishings, facility configuration, housekeeping, accessories and amenities.

“Facilities Excellence helps to create an environment that enhances the capability of an installation to support its mission.”

The fundamental concept underpinning Facilities

Excellence is Architectural Compatibility. Compatible is generally defined as “capable of existing together in harmony” or “to be consistent.” Architectural compatibility results from designing and building facilities in harmony with the natural and man-made surroundings as well as the environment. Architectural compatibility would therefore be concerned not only with the physical appearance of buildings but interfacing with planning, landscape development and interior design goals.

Architectural compatibility considerations are those planning and design factors that influence and enhance an installation’s physical appearance. The decision as to what should be considered is determined by the situation and particular requirements of the installation and the overall environment.
