 The Navy recently released an update to the 2009 Arctic Roadmap. The updated plan outlines the Navy's strategy for operating in the Arctic Ocean during the next 15 years. The plan seeks to increase the number of personnel trained in the Arctic operations as well as strengthen the Navy Coast Guard partnership. Another major point of the plan pushes for more joint military drills with fellow Arctic nations such as Canada, Norway and Russia. Operating in the Arctic requires special training, extreme cold weather modifications for systems and equipment and complex logistics support. The roadmap seeks to meet each of those challenges.
