Improve skills and capabilities
Major General Peter Andrysiak, Commander U.S. Army Alaska, recently explained that there is a pivot in the U.S. Army to train and operate more in Alaska in order to rebuild skills lost over the years, as the Army for the past decades has been meeting significant demands around the world.
Titled “Regaining Arctic Dominance”, the new Army strategy identifies several objectives for the service to improve Arctic capability. As part of the strategy, the Army plans to invest in a Multi-Domain Task Force enabled Division headquarters with specially trained and equipped combat brigades to recapture cold-weather capabilities.
The Army will, moreover, improve the materiel readiness of Arctic-capable units in order to conduct extended operations in the Arctic. That includes the provision of equipment for Arctic-capable formations to be able to operate at extreme temperatures for multiple days at a time.
The strategy also addresses the improvement of the quality of life for soldiers, civilians and families who live and work at installations and facilities in the region.
"The Arctic, a vital area containing many of our nation’s natural resources and key shipping channels, is a platform for projecting global power and a possible avenue of attack in conflict. This enhanced Arctic capability will increase the Army’s ability to operate in extreme cold-weather, mountainous and high-latitude environments and supports the DoD’s Arctic Strategy, which was issued in June 2019", the US Army press release states.
The strategy is publishedjust a few months after the US Navy and the US Department of Homland Security released their respective Arctic strategies. In 2020, the US Air Force released its first strategy for the Arctic region.
