Hmm.  Looks like the Chinese are product improving Russian tech.  They're showing it in the desert but we can probably guess that they're gonna part of the race to the Arctic.

I know the US Army is gearing up (slowly) to do work up there but is the Marine Corps?

Putting that aside.  The only service that I can point to that's actually making solid plans to work up there is the Coast Guard...and that's with the push for new Ice Breakers.

Is it perhaps time for someone to designate an arctic troop Brigade?  Quite honestly I see a fight up there (accidental or on purpose) before I see a conventional fight with the Chinese in the Pacific.
