Nature of Alaska as a defense asset in wartime
The piece argues Alaska cannot be ringed with defenses due to a 20060 mile coastline and logistics limits. It cites potential invasion routes and key targets like Fort Richardson, Elmendorf, Ladd and Eielson, Kor, and Kodiak. It notes Alaska’s natural assets, weather reconnaissance, and the Allied defense posture with Alaska’s proximity to Asia and Canada.
