NORAD Head Launches Probe into Alcohol Use After Containers Found in Classified Workspace
• Gen. Glen VanHerck launched an investigation into alcohol consumption at NORAD and Northern Command
• The probe follows a media inquiry and the discovery of alcohol containers in a classified workspace
• VanHerck said alcohol is allowed in workspaces with approval, but the investigation will check if policies were violated
• The commands faced scrutiny this year when a Chinese balloon flew through North American airspace
• VanHerck said he sees no evidence of alcohol impacting readiness or missions like responding to the balloon
