America's Arctic Warriors: Inside US Army's grueling Alaska training camps where troops dubbed 'wolves' prepare to fight in sub-zero temperatures to really 'test the mettle of a human'
2024-03-03
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Fight like a wolf!

That's the creed of the US Army's 1st Brigade, 11th Airborne - which operates out of Fort Wainwright, Alaska.

Set a short drive from the Arctic Circle, conditions there are less than optimal, with temperatures regularly falling below -50F° for more than two-thirds of the year.

#1  Northern Shipping route- Arctic shipping open to all. 90% raw materials to China. 4-7 million tons expected. Russia plans 30 more ships added to fleet. 20-22 days shipping much shorter time than Suez canal.
