        The danish military. Side note, the USA does their cold weather training in Norway in terrain that local civilians ski/hike recreationally, and in temperatures that are significantly higher than those in Greenland. You are right that there is an exchange of expertise in NATO, but it’s the Scandinavians that do the training when it comes to cold weather / mountain warfare. The USA’s specialty is urban counterinsurgency and bombing Africans.

            Yes very remote and isolated bases. Very much dependent on resupply by sea. Yeah it’d be a dick move to destroy the bases power generation capabilities during a -40 winter, but these are the times we live in I guess.
