The Ted Stevens Center for Arctic Security Studies will operate at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. It’s the sixth regional center established by Defense Department. The others are in Germany, Hawaii and Washington, D.C.
A new regional center established by the Department of Defense in Anchorage will focus on Arctic security and connecting military and civilian stakeholders in the region.
that other cities were considered for the new center, but Anchorage was ultimately chosen because of its location near the Arctic and other assets. The Stevens Center, named for the late Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, will operate out of an existing building on JBER using a “hub and network” approach, hosting symposiums and engaging with stakeholders in and outside Alaska, including other Arctic nations.
Craig Fleener is the deputy advisor for the Stevens Center. He said security studies extend beyond national defense. They plan to work with researchers, Indigenous communities, environmental agencies and the energy industry.
