North American Aerospace Defence (NORAD) announced on March 4 that an \u00a0&#8220;increased military presence&#8221; would be seen at its forward operating \u00a0location (FOL) around the city&#8217;s airport starting on that day. That was \u00a0followed by a joint release from the GN and Nunavut Tunngavik \u00a0Incorporated (NTI) on the same issue. FOLs are used to support NORAD and Canadian NORAD Region (CANR) missions, operations and exercises. What it means is that there will be increased deployments of aircraft \u00a0and personnel to FOLs, which are required to ensure the logistical \u00a0maintenance of facilities as well as maintaining and enhancing the \u00a0expertise of personnel","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/theturtleislandnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/facebooklogo.jpg","thumbnail_width":725,"thumbnail_height":483}
