Named for Alaska’s late U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, the center is the sixth Defense Department regional facility of its kind. The other centers focus on Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, the Middle East and “Hemispheric Defense.” “At long last the Arctic, from the Department of Defense perspective, is now a place viewed in the Pentagon as one of critical strategic importance,” he added.
