We are one of the U.S. military’s most centrally located power projection platforms that benefits from joint training opportunities, a breathtaking envi- ronment and diverse weather, all of which provides ideal training grounds to prepare our Soldiers for the challenges of our times. U.S. Army Alaska, headquartered at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, has units at two installa- tions covering 1.65 million acres with nearly 12,000 Soldiers and 2,500 civilian employees who keep the mission going. U.S. Army Alaska is at the forefront of protecting U.S. interests around the world. Successful combat tours by the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, and many of our other supporting units mark the Army’s continued commitment to stopping terrorism and defending freedom. The stationing of units of the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade at Fort Wainwright and the 3rd Maneuver Enhancement Brigade at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson has expanded our capabilities. The 49th state owes much of its success, infrastructure, roads and accessibility to the Army. Soldiers were here from the moment Alaska was transferred from Russia to the United States, Oct. 18, 1867. Now, 147 years later, U.S. Army Alaska is the Army’s forward presence for the Northern and Pacific region’s defense. Our mission is to deploy combat- ready forces for joint military operations worldwide and serve as the Joint Forces Land Component Command to support Joint Task Force Alaska. Our strategic location, superior training capa- bilities and dynamic relationship with our local civilian communities make Alaska a significant national asset and world-class power projection platform for military operations anywhere in the world. Extensive training areas throughout Alaska known as the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex (JPARC) provide backdrops for molding the tough, well-trained Soldiers essential for these new forces.
