About this event
JSOU Snapshot is a series of short learning videos made just for you, busy special operations professionals, to educate and inform on topics of interest, confusion, controversy, and question. The objective of these short videos is to teach or clarify concepts that are important for you to know, in 5 minutes or less. In this video, we ask "What is Russia doing in the Arctic? And what does it mean for the U.S., allies, partners and friends? " Russia has proven to have a keen interest in the arctic region of the globe, whether in posture against its perceived threats from NATO nations, its desire to control future shipping lanes, or its desire to exploit natural resources there. We look at what Russia has been doing in the arctic, and what the future implications might be for U.S. SOF. Keep an eye out for more JSOU Snapshots in the near future!
