Kelliher discussed the strategic importance of operating in an austere environment and commemorated the Marines on their resiliency. Training in an arctic environment cultivates a resilient force adept at adapting to extreme conditions, guaranteeing preparedness for potential conflicts in challenging terrains, and augmenting the overall proficiency of armed forces to operate effectively in diverse and demanding scenarios. Arctic Edge 2024 is a U.S. Northern Command-led homeland defense exercise demonstrating the U.S. military’s capabilities in extreme cold weather, joint force readiness, and U.S. military commitment to mutual strategic security interests in the arctic region.
