US Army Alaska Training for Arctic Defense Operations in Northern Norway

“The Arctic might be one of many harshest atmosphere of all environments on the planet. If we would not have a succesful or prepared power that may function and doubtlessly battle within the Arctic atmosphere, that’s actually not a very good deterrence”, Main Normal Brian Eifler, Commanding Normal of US Military Alaska, tells Excessive North Information.

In the meanwhile, Alaska’s Senior Military Commander is in inland areas of Troms, Northern Norway, to participate within the first-ever coaching train between US Military Alaska and the Norwegian Armed Forces.

From Bardufoss, the place of the Norwegian Brigade Nord’s headquarters, Eifler tells HNN in regards to the elevated curiosity in bettering Arctic capabilities within the US Military. The US Military lately launched its first-ever Arctic technique, which entails a much bigger means of change for the forces MG Eifler leads in Alaska. 

Enhancing Arctic forces

“As now we have seen on the earth as we speak, there are adverseries that aren’t behaving responsibly. We now have to be prepared for it,” Eifler says and underlines:

“Ultimately, we don’t want conflict. That’s our fundamental objective; to stop conflict. By stopping conflict, we needs to be having a succesful power that deters that menace from doing one thing irresponsible and breaking apart the peace throughout the area. That’s the reason our nation actually desires to have that functionality, throughout all the departments in our Defence, however in our case the Military, so we’re prepared and succesful.”
