Building exteriors to include 821st Space Base Group, and video taken from North Mountain near Thule AB.
Thule Air Base (pronounced too-lee) is located in Greenland - a country within the Kingdom of Denmark and inhabited by approximately 56,000 people. Greenland covers nearly 840,000 square miles; more than 80 percent is covered either by the ice cap or smaller glaciers. Thule AB is locked in by ice nine months out of the year, but the airfield is open and operated year round.
Thule AB exists today due to agreements between the United States and the Kingdom of Denmark, specifically addressing mutual defense. Strategically, Thule AB’s “Top of the World” vantage point enables Space Superiority. Thule AB supports Missile Warning, Missile Defense and Space Surveillance missions from the solid-state phased-array radar operated by the 12th Space Warning Squadron (12 SWS) and Satellite Command and Control through the Thule Tracking Station operated by the 23rd Space Operations Squadron, Detachment 1 (Det-1).
Thule AB, the DoD's northernmost installations, is operated by the 821st Space Base Group and part of Space Base Delta 1.
