Special Forces Group & Project 6633 Launch Essay Contest on Polar Operations
The 10th Special Forces Group and Project 6633 have joined forces to host an essay contest, focusing on how American special operations forces can excel against near-peer adversaries in the polar regions. This initiative comes as the Arctic gains strategic significance for special operations. The contest is accompanied by an episode of the 'our website Podcast', featuring Col. Brian Rauen, commander of the 10th Special Forces Group, and Capt. Barrett Martin, an officer assigned to the group.
The podcast episode is hosted by Dr. Ryan Burke, an MWI fellow and co-director of Project 6633. Last year, Capt. Martin led a team that underwent joint training with Norwegian and Swedish forces in the high northern latitudes of Europe. This experience highlights the growing importance of the Arctic for the 10th Special Forces Group, which has a specific focus on operations in Europe, including the Arctic region. The essay contest aims to foster innovative ideas on how American special operations forces can effectively compete in this unique and challenging environment.
The 10th Special Forces Group and Project 6633 invite participants to submit their essays, contributing to the conversation on special operations in the Arctic. The podcast episode, featuring Col. Rauen and Capt. Martin, provides valuable insights into the strategic relevance of the Arctic and the challenges faced by special operations forces in this region.
