ya i do...i think the point was to get a missile detection system there so if china or russia shot nukes over the north poll we would have some warning
Former Airforce (ret) here. We have that already at Thule Airbase, Greenland, now under USSF control. Thule AB has been there for quite some time with this mission.
So, now, here's something to really chew on: Airforce bases are typically named after someone or the town they're near; e.g. "Patrick AFB", Eglin AFB", "Travis AFB", "Spangdahlem AFB", etc. This is one of the only ones that is not but named after a Greek name for an ancient civilization of Hyperboreans far to the North. Why? There's your nugget if you enjoy ancient history (not myth as academia would want you to believe).
