Prompt Title: NORAD

NORAD stands for the North American Aerospace Defense Command, which is a joint military organization between the United States and Canada. The two countries work together through NORAD to provide aerospace warning, aerospace control, and maritime warning for North America.

The countries that are part of NORAD are the United States and Canada. NORAD was established in 1958 as a response to the Cold War and the need for an integrated command and control system to protect North America from potential air and missile attacks. Today, NORAD is responsible for detecting, tracking, and identifying any aerospace threats to North America, and if necessary, it can respond with air and maritime defense measures.

In addition to its military mission, NORAD also plays a significant role in tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve through its popular Santa Tracker program, which has become a holiday tradition for many families.
