Implementation Framework for the National Strategy for the Arctic Region [Appendix A]
"Since the publication of the 2013 National Strategy for the Arctic Region (Strategy), the United States has demonstrated a commitment to leadership in adapting to changing Arctic conditions. Climate change is exerting diverse and accelerating impacts on the Arctic, on the people who live there, and on related societal, environmental, economic, and security issues. Accordingly, the U.S. Government must periodically review its actions to ensure they are appropriately prioritized to advance U.S. interests. This document supersedes the 2014 Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for the Arctic Region (Implementation Plan), putting forward an updated Implementation Framework for the National Strategy for the Arctic Region (Framework) to ensure that U.S. efforts successfully address all three lines of effort from the Strategy: 1. Advancing United States Security Interests, 2. Pursuing Responsible Arctic Region Stewardship, and 3. Strengthening International Cooperation."

National Strategy for the Arctic Region Implementation Report
"The Arctic is a key region of the United States with critical influence on the global environment and economy. The Arctic is a peaceful and stable region in the world, and the United States will continue to work with the international community to understand the region, and its impacts on the globe, through coordinated scientific research and traditional knowledge. The importance of the region, coupled with a coordinated approach, provides unique and fresh opportunities for unprecedented regional cooperation and expansion of international governance. The 'National Strategy for the Arctic Region (Strategy)' laid out the United States' priorities for the region; its 'Implementation Plan' then provided clear guidance and responsibilities to achieve milestones associated with the 'Strategy'. This report describes implementation progress along the three lines of effort described in the 'Strategy': (1) Advance United States Security Interests, (2) Pursue Responsible Arctic Region Stewardship, and (3) Strengthen International Cooperation."

Arctic Strategy [November 2013]
"The Arctic is at a strategic inflection point as its ice cap is diminishing more rapidly than projected and human activity, driven by economic opportunity--ranging from oil, gas, and mineral exploration to fishing, shipping, and tourism--is increasing in response to the growing accessibility. Arctic and non-Arctic nations are establishing their strategies and positions on the future of the Arctic in a variety of international forums. Taken together, these changes present a compelling opportunity for the Department of Defense (DoD) to work collaboratively with allies and partners to promote a balanced approach to improving human and environmental security in the region in accordance with the 2013 'National Strategy for the Arctic Region'. Security in the Arctic encompasses a broad spectrum of activities, ranging from resource extraction and trade to activities supporting safe commercial and scientific operations to national defense. Security cooperation activities and other military-to-military forms of engagement establish, shape, and maintain international relations and the partnerships necessary to meet security challenges and reduce the potential for friction. The Department will continue to build cooperative strategic partnerships that promote innovative, affordable security solutions, and burden-sharing in the Arctic, and seek to increase opportunities with Arctic partners to enhance regional expertise and cold-weather operational experience. The Department will continue to train and operate routinely in the region as it monitors the changing environment, revisiting assessments and taking appropriate action as conditions change. This strategy identifies the Department's desired end-state for the Arctic: a secure and stable region where U.S. national interests are safeguarded, the U.S. homeland is protected, and nations work cooperatively to address challenges. It also articulates two main supporting objectives: 'Ensure security, support safety, and promote defense cooperation, and prepare to respond to a wide range of challenges and contingencies'--operating in conjunction with other nations when possible, and independently if necessary--in order to maintain stability in the region. Finally, it identifies the 'ways' and 'means' the Department intends to use to achieve these objectives as it implements the 'National Strategy for the Arctic Region'."

National Strategy for the Arctic Region
"Through this 'National Strategy for the Arctic Region', we seek to guide, prioritize, and synchronize efforts to protect U.S. national and homeland security interests, promote responsible stewardship, and foster international cooperation. This strategy articulates three priority lines of effort. It also identifies guiding principles as a foundation for Arctic region activities. Through a deliberate emphasis on the priority lines of effort and objectives, it aims to achieve a national unity of effort that is consistent with our domestic and international legal rights, obligations, and commitments and that is well coordinated with our Arctic neighbors and the international community. These lines of effort identify common themes where specific emphasis and activities will be focused to ensure that strategic priorities are met. The three lines of effort, as well as the guiding principles are meant to be acted upon as a coherent whole."
