Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska - Gen. Terrence J. O’Shaughnessy, North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command commander, recently visited Anchorage for the Arctic Maritime Symposium, where he echoed Defense Secretary Mattis’ thoughts that America has got to up its game in the Arctic. He also spoke of NORAD and USNORTHCOM’s commitment to the defense of the homeland, which requires a reinvigorated effort to ensure we remain ready to operate in and through the Arctic. The symposium was a three-day event in which senior military leaders, intelligence analysts, interagency operators and Arctic maritime subject matter experts discussed the strategic challenges associated with Arctic maritime operations.
