Exercise Sweetbriar tests Arctic defense across Alaska
Canadian and United States forces will stage Exercise Sweetbriar in mid February for about 10 days to test Arctic clothing and equipment and to develop joint doctrines for operations in the far north. About 3,700 Canadian and US troops and 1,400 air force personnel will participate. The exercise aims to test individual gear and to train for severe winters near the Alaska highway north of Whitehorse. Lt. Gen. Stephen J. Chamberlin will command the overall exercise with senior allied officers coordinating air and ground elements. The event anticipates extreme cold, demanding survival training, and mechanized equipment challenges, using fiber glass sleds and Arctic candles as part of the kit. The exercise underscores North American defense concerns amid claims Alaska remains vulnerable to invasion.
