The ice is giving way as the Earth’s climate changes. When it does, it will become a crucial strategic interest for the U.S. and it's partnering nations. Airmen from the Combat Alert Center at Joint Base Elemendorf-Richardson, Alaska (JBER) have been conducting intercept missions past and present of the Cold War era.
