An internal July memo obtained by the Washington Times said the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, was dropping potentially offensive terms from its roster of readiness exercise names. Advertisement The four words "warrior, chief, brave and Indian" are out, and will be replaced by "phantom, arrow and dart," the memo said. For example, operation Amalgam Fabric Brave has been changed to Amalgam Fabric Dart. It involves deploying fighter jets to various NORAD regions to check their response times. "It was just NORAD," said spokesman Air Force Master Sgt. John Tomassi. "We don't have a professional sports team like the Washington Redskins, but we still are sensitive to the same sorts of issues that those organizations are."
