Time for a United States Arctic Command

Abstract

A United States Arctic Command is necessary to stop Russian expansionism in the region, re-establish the balance of power in the region, and provide security for commerce and economic development as the effects of climate change widen Arctic sea lanes. The US and NATO are currently ill equipped to respond to a potential crisis because there is not a GCC solely focused on the Arctic to advocate for its issues or capabilities needed to execute a clear and comprehensive US-led strategy for the Arctic.
