The "Big Atlas Map," or BAM, covers the floor at North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command headquarters on April 27, 2026. Designed and produced on a compressed timeline by Rich Hanes, an analyst with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the 25-by-28-foot map details North American strategic seaports, airports, rail lines and interstate highways. It served as the central planning tool for the 2026 Sustainment Rehearsal of Concept (ROC) Drill, enabling logisticians to physically walk through force flow and distribution concepts.
