The Navy will soon be participating in Northern Edge, the training that brings together branches of the military for war games in the Gulf of Alaska. Rear Admiral Mark Sucato talks about the training, and addresses the criticism of it. Take a listen:
The U.S. Navy will soon be participating again in, the massive training exercise that brings together different branches of the military every two years for war games in the Gulf of Alaska.
Among the critics of Northern Edge are commercial fishing groups, environmentalists and coastal communities who say the timing and location of the exercise, which includes live ammunition, is detrimental to salmon and whales migrating north in the early summer. Rear Admiral Mark Sucato, commander of the Navy’s northwest region, was in Alaska recently listening to those concerns and doing outreach ahead of Northern Edge this summer.: Our mantra is that you want to train as close to his how you would fight as possible, because the more artificialities, the less realistic it is, potentially, the less effective it is.
