US Army Alaska is Making a Huge Transformation to be the Army’s Arctic Force This summer, US Army Alaska will become an operational division headquarters. “This will be an Arctic Airborne Division, which is unique in our Army”, Major General Brian Eifler tells High North News.
US Army Alaska Training for Arctic Defense Operations in Northern Norway "If we do not have a capable force that can operate in the Arctic environment, that is really not a good deterrence", Major General Brian Eifler says to HNN. As the US continues to develop its Arctic capabilties, the US Army Alaska is currently training with Norwegian forces for the first time ever.
US Paratroopers from Alaska Training in Northern Norway for the First Time Ever Hundreds of US soldiers will next week parachute out from a plane across inland areas in Troms, Norway arriving directly from Alaska. “Being able to handle the reception of such a force is important for Norway”, says Major and Spokesperson Eirik Skomedal of the Norwegian Army.
