The U.S. Navy is planning to return to Adak, the remote Aleutians Island, to establish a cold weather training and logistics facilities. The first exercises are planned for next September, we’re told. This won’t be the substantial presence the Navy had during the cold war years, before the Adak Naval Air Station was closed, but it could develop further as the U.S. projects more force into the northern Pacific and Arctic regions to counter Russia and China. Adak is now owned and operated by the Aleut Corp. The island still has substantial warehouse, fueling, housing and other facilities that support nearby fisheries. A seafood processing plant operates there. (See more on Adak in this months Business Intelligence)
