Abstract
As the polar ice in the artic melts it is becoming increasingly more open to naval traffic and natural resource exploration and exploitation. This increase of accessibility and availability of resources as well as global traffic will undoubtedly increase the competition for these resources from arctic and non-arctic states. As a nation with artic interest it is prudent that we plan and forecast for the nonaggressive development of this frontier with the intent of forging cooperative nonaggressive partnerships in the interest of Arctic stability and prosperity. This research explores the feasible options and the strategic contracting requirements to facilitate U.S. Arctic strategic objectives given the unique operating environment of the Arctic, geopolitical constraints of the area, and capability gaps in personnel, platforms, and doctrine.
