Summary:This thesis examines implications within the Arctic, which could require U.S. Northern Command to generate military options. The review of the literature includes the potential intentions of several critical counties within the region. The research design employs a qualitative research methodology to identify themes that illuminate challenges or opportunities regarding U.S. national security and interests. The analysis identifies several military operations that future DoD efforts could use within the Arctic to address those challenges and opportunities. The conclusion expands upon those military operations to provide focus regarding future Arctic military efforts.
