1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team at the Arctic Circle...Photos by Sgt. 1st Class Joel Gibson & Capt. Richard Packer

Note:  I wonder if the USMC shouldn't be fighting for this mission.  Airlifting Strykers to counter "threat nation" moves in this region will not cut it.  The combat power brought by a Marine Expeditionary Unit would seem to be the minimum force needed.  I don't know if a Stryker Brigade can do the job solo.  Regardless we need a British import if we're gonna fight right.  No, not another news reader but a Royal Marine Mountain Leader to "teach our leaders" and establish a real deal Arctic Warfare School.
