 I'm Lieutenant General David Crum, I am the commander of Alaska-Norway region, Alaska Command 11th Air Force. It is to bring us all together as a joint combined and allied force to think about how we can defend the Arctic, how we can work together to not just survive up here but thrive and be able to protect our homeland. We've got a lot going on this winter. We've got cold response going on in Norway, icex underneath the Arctic Ocean, Arctic Edge, CSO 5, Noble Defender. And what this really is is a demonstration of how we can use all of these different operations to weave together how we can support our country to protect our nation's interest and of course defend our homeland as well. And it's just a really amazing way to do this incredibly vast geographic span of area and coordinate all of those military responses. You can't do it unless you've been here. And you can see by the whiteness around me that if you're not here, you don't really understand. And what the extreme elements, you know, we talk about the climate change and it is, it's creating more access but the environment is still really, really hard to deal with. And so the equipment has to be brought up here. It has to be serviced differently. You have to get the right equipment. You have to have the right training and you have to know the right techniques. And to be here and to do it in this kind of environment will make sure that we're ready for the future. Because you can't do it alone. Every single service, every single unit, every single person, they all bring something different to the fight. And we need that combined effort to get our nation's business done. No, this has been a great exercise. I think we've learned a lot. Our nations, both Canada and the United States working together, we've done an incredible amount together. And I look forward to the future.
