Anchorage Security and Defense Conference

Nearly 350 security practitioners, including military members, Ambassadors, policymakers, leaders, government officials, researchers, scholars, community leaders, and international Allies and partners gathered in Anchorage to address issues and opportunities in the Arctic region. Discussions focused on the Arctic’s rapidly changing environment, the growing strategic competition in the region, and pathways toward collaboration and resilience.

“At NORAD and USNORTHCOM, we recognize that defending the Arctic is central to securing our homeland, and we are committed to safeguarding this region,” said Gen. Gregory M. Guillot, Commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command and United States Northern Command. “I appreciate this forum which will foster your best ideas and most innovative strategies. Securing the Arctic is fundamental to the security of the U.S. and our Allies, and this task requires our full focus and determination. As the Arctic continues to shape global security, our combined approach in this region will define our ability to ensure the safety of our nations.”
