Alaska Defense Forum

We’re proud to sponsor and attend the 2026 Alaska Defense Forum.   This year’s theme, Readiness in Action, hits especially close to home for Chugach. Alaska’s strategic importance to U.S. national defense continues to grow, and ensuring our nation is prepared to operate effectively in the Arctic is critical to national security.

For us, the Arctic isn’t just a strategic operating environment. It’s our backyard. It’s where our communities live, where our families call home, and where Chugach has decades of experience supporting critical missions in some of the most demanding conditions in the world. Across Alaska and the Arctic, our teams put readiness into action every day from supporting critical work at Fort Greely, to assisting with communications aboard U.S. Coast Guard polar icebreakers, modernizing audiovisual capabilities at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, and supporting mission operations at Clear Space Force Station.

We understand what it takes to operate in Arctic conditions because we live and work here.

We look forward to joining military leaders, industry partners, and community stakeholders in Fairbanks to discuss the future of Arctic defense, resilient infrastructure, mission readiness, and the partnerships needed to strengthen America’s strategic position in the North.
