Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center 22-02 began March 9 and continues through March 24
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - An increase in military vehicles on the Richardson Highway and around the Donnelly Training Area in March is a result of U.S Army Alaska conducting The Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center 22-02 exercise .
Military vehicles and personnel will be moving between Fort Wainwright and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson to the Fort Greely area before and after the exercise dates which are scheduled through March 24, 2022. “It is a completely different beast. I’ve never done operations in the Arctic. I’ve always been in hot environments, so it was definitely a learning experience,” he continued. “I’d definitely say it is more difficult than say in Afghanistan, Iraq. We are used to hot climates, desert environments, other stuff like that. Mastering tasks and things in the Arctic is completely different.”
Before the soldiers enter the field they have to take a Cold Weather Indoctrination Course. Soldiers learn how to properly wear uniforms and handle the equipment. Johnson says JPMRC has been a great experience for him and his team, adding this is a great way to learn from mistakes and build a stronger bond with the team as a whole.
