The US Navy’s new Arctic strategy is limited in scope and details, say critics
The Navy assesses the Arctic as “low risk of conflict,” with plans to evaluate changes in the environment and the Navy’s capabilities and to establish strong partnerships in the region.
The U.S. Navy quietly released a barebones new Arctic Strategic Outlook earlier this year, which critics say doesn’t do enough to sketch the challenges the agency faces in the Arctic or its capacity to respond. A copy obtained by ArcticToday this week, dated January 2019, offers a brief assessment of risks in the Arctic and an overview of the military branch’s approach to the region.
