The northern flank : the Arctic : implications for SOF / Bernd Horn, Howard G. Coombs and Tony Balasevicius, editors. : D2-694/2025E-PDF ; D2-694/2025E

"The Arctic has become a region of opportunity, but also competition. Moreover, operating in the Arctic is replete with monumental challenges. Therefore, as the global Great Power Competition (GPC) continues, special operations forces (SOF) will become an increasingly important player in the High North. This new edited volume published by Canadian Special Operations Forces Command is intended to provide perspective and insight into SOF's roles and challenges as it navigates the murky gray zone of hybrid warfare in competition and conflict, as well as preparing for high-intensity war should regional conflagrations erupt into a global war"--Supplied from publisher.
