Operationalizing the 2019 Department of Defense Arctic Strategy

Abstract

DoD released its Arctic Strategy with the strategic approach of strengthening rules-based order in the Arctic, building Arctic awareness, and enhancing Arctic operations. The changing Arctic security/strategic environments and Great Power competition provides the necessary elements to focus efforts over time; however, the current state of the Joint Force's Arctic operational environment hinders the way-ahead. The Joint Force must designate ALCOM as the Arctic CCMD, create an Arctic RCP, and develop a Joint Force with Arctic specific capabilities and training. These recommendations mitigate existing impediments obstacles currently preventing the operationalization of the latest Arctic Strategy.
