This coming Friday, US President Donald Trump will meet face-to-face with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin. The men will meet at an extraordinary location: Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, near Anchorage, Alaska.
Revelations that the two Presidents would meet on a U.S. Military Base struck very many people as VERY odd. It turns out, SECURITY was a very big factor in choosing the location.
It is already well-known that Ukraine is willing to commit "provocations." Might attacking President Putin be one such effort? No one in the U.S. was willing to risk such a thing; too much at stake.
It is also well known that the first Assassination attempt against President Trump, which took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, was carried out by a shooter named Thomas Crooks. At the time of the attempted assassination, Crooks was killed by Police Snipers, but afterwards, he was found to be in possession of cellphones, equipped with "encrypted messaging applications" one of which reportedly went through a server in Brussels, Belgium That server was allegedly operated by: NATO.
It is also no secret that certain NATO country leaders have it "out" for Russia's President. Quite a few of those same NATO country leaders do not care much for President Trump, either. The Butler, PA assassination attempt is proof.
It turned out that, all things considered, it was faster, easier and far more secure, for the two Presidents to meet on a US Military base.
Elmendorf Air Force Base
This Air Force Base is located in Anchorage, Alaska, is a United States Air Force facility situated in the south central part of the state, near the city of Anchorage, which is sometimes referred to as "The Banana Belt" of Alaska. Originally established as Elmendorf Field in 1940, it became Elmendorf Air Force Base after World War II and was later amalgamated with nearby Fort Richardson in 2010 to form Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) as mandated by the 2005 Base Closure and Realignment Commission. The base is a critical strategic asset, serving as the home for the Headquarters, Alaskan Command (ALCOM), Alaskan NORAD Region (ANR), Eleventh Air Force (11 AF), the 673d Air Base Wing, the 3rd Wing, the 176th Wing, and other tenant units.
The base's mission is to support and defend U.S. interests in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world by providing units ready for worldwide air power projection and a base capable of meeting the theater staging and throughput requirements of the United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM).
It plays a vital role in air defense and air superiority for Alaska, supporting Pacific Air Forces during contingencies in the Pacific Command area of responsibility. The 673d Air Base Wing, activated on 30 July 2010, serves as the host wing, managing the joint base and supporting over 5,500 joint military and civilian personnel, three USAF total-force wings, two U.S. Army Brigades, and 55 other tenant units. The wing also provides medical care to over 35,000 service members, dependents, Veterans Affairs patients, and retirees throughout Alaska.
Elmendorf AFB has a long history of strategic importance, beginning with its role as a major air logistics center and staging area during the Aleutian Islands Campaign in World War II.
During the Cold War, its proximity to the Soviet Union made it a key component of North American defense, earning it the motto "Top Cover for North America". The base has undergone significant modernization, including the construction of an enhanced Regional Operations Control Center and the replacement of older radar systems with state-of-the-art AN/FPS-117 Minimally Attended Radars. A major infrastructure project, a $309-million effort launched in November 2022, extended the base’s 16/34 runway by 2,900 feet to a total length of 10,000 feet to accommodate the military’s largest aircraft, requiring the removal of 12 million cubic yards of glacial till.
The base covers approximately 13,130 acres and has been the subject of environmental remediation efforts since the mid-1940s due to contamination from industrial and airfield operations, fire training, and fuels management, which have affected soil and groundwater with hazardous chemicals.
The site is divided into several operable units (OUs) for cleanup, with remedial actions ongoing at some and investigations continuing for others. The base's strategic location continues to be vital for U.S. military operations in the Arctic and Pacific regions.
