After a long period of hibernation, tension in the Arctic is increasing, with military build-ups and encounters there between the U.S. and its near-peer competitors, Russia and China.
In a reflection of that tension, the Army recently released a strategy meant to secure its military preeminence in the Arctic.
Dubbed “Regaining Arctic Dominance,” the strategy aims to create a dedicated headquarters and specialized Arctic warfare units, improve infrastructure in the region, and invest in individual and collective training.
Although mentioned only briefly in the document, Army special-operations units are expected to have a significant role in the region both in peacetime and during war.

Brigadier Jack Thomas, oversaw the Royal Military Police in Northern Ireland during the Troubles – obituary
Thomas served in Palestine, Korea and Kenya and was a tough leader with the knack of resolving problems and ruthless determination

Brigadier Jack Thomas, who has died aged 94, was the first Assistant Provost Marshal to be appointed in Northern Ireland.
In early 1970, on promotion to lieutenant-colonel in the Royal Military Police, Thomas oversaw the RMP in a new civil role, protecting life and property, preventing and detecting offences, and preserving public order.
After the introduction of internment without trial, there was an increase in violence and in attacks – often involving shooting or bombing – against the security forces and the RMP.
after the massacre, the mourning. this attack has stunned pakistan. the army and government promise revenge, but for now the slaughter of so many children, simply left this country numb. so some embarrassment really for the pakistani army in one way. this is an army school and those seven taliban gunmen got in without much of a challenge. it was about 15 minutes before the army commandos could even begin firing back. as i said, the pakistani military has begun fresh airstrikes against the taliban. again, questions of tear effectiveness both here and, of course, where they really need to challenge the taliban is in eastern afghanistan where they have a relatively safe hi note. three days of national mourning have been declared across this country. it s the worst national terrorist attack they have had.
