The North East Air Command (NEAC) was a United States Air Force command that was responsible for conducting air defense operations in the North Atlantic region during the Cold War. NEAC was headquartered in Keflavik, Iceland and had subordinate units located in other countries, including Greenland.

In Greenland, NEAC was responsible for operating several air bases and radar sites that were used to monitor and defend against potential Soviet air and sea threats. These bases and sites included Thule Air Base, Sondrestrom Air Base, and the DYE-2, DYE-3, and DYE-4 radar sites.

Thule Air Base, located on the northwest coast of Greenland, was the largest and most important of these installations. It served as a key hub for US Air Force operations in the region and was home to a variety of aircraft, including fighter jets, bombers, and reconnaissance planes. The base also hosted a Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) radar site, which was used to detect and track potential Soviet missile launches.

During the Cold War, NEAC played a vital role in maintaining the security of the North Atlantic region and deterring Soviet aggression. Its installations in Greenland and other countries provided critical air defense capabilities and served as important forward operating bases for US military forces.
