New Podcast Dives into U.S. Special Ops Challenges in the Arctic

A new podcast episode dives into the challenges and strategies of special operations forces in the Arctic. Hosted by Dr. Ryan Burke, an MWI fellow and co-director of Project 6633, the show features Col. Brian Rauen and Capt. Barrett Martin, both from the 10th Special Forces Group. The Naval War College, in collaboration with Project 6633, has launched an essay competition on this very topic.

The Arctic, an area of growing significance for the 10th Special Forces Group, presents unique challenges for special operations. Col. Rauen, the commander of the group, and Capt. Martin, one of its officers, shared their insights on these obstacles and potential solutions. Last year, Capt. Martin led a team that trained with Norwegian and Swedish forces in the high northern latitudes, gaining firsthand experience of these harsh conditions.

The podcast explores how U.S. special operations forces can compete with near-peer adversaries in these polar regions. The 10th Special Forces Group and Project 6633 have partnered to host an essay contest, encouraging strategic thinking on this crucial issue.

The podcast episode, with its timely discussion and high-profile guests, underscores the importance of U.S. special operations forces' role in the Arctic. The essay competition, launched by the Naval War College and Project 6633, aims to foster innovative ideas on how to meet these challenges effectively.
