The US Army is the latest service to release an Arctic strategy.
The Army s goal is to train and equip units to operate in and around the Arctic.
As military activity increases in the Arctic, the US Army is putting renewed emphasis on the region, particularly Alaska, seeking to rebuild its ability to operate in the toughest conditions. We have a long history of training and operating out here. It really hit its peak in the 80s, Maj. Gen. Peter Andrysiak, commander of US Army Alaska, told Insider in a March interview.
