Alaskan Command

Alaskan Command (ALCOM) is a joint military organization responsible for defending Alaska and supporting U.S. national security, especially in the Arctic region. It oversees air, land, and maritime operations, working closely with the U.S. Air Force, Army, and other agencies. ALCOM ensures early warning of potential threats, manages military assets in the state, and coordinates responses to emergencies or security challenges. Its strategic location makes it vital for monitoring activities in the Arctic and Pacific regions, providing rapid military response capabilities and enhancing the United States’ ability to operate effectively in northern and Arctic environments.
