I suppose that it would appear to have been part of the unabridged article, but this is not the case.  It is in the best interest of my company (and clients) to be aware of (among other things) the world's military deployments, especially as to the economic, political, and sociological causation.  Such awareness will determine if my company decides to complete the rail-road through Canada, to North Pole ... seek financing for power generators on the North-Slope and HVDC power-lines along Alaska's rail-belt ...through Canada ... and also along the West-Coast for the mining interests.  Foreign military moves often presage our Federal government's decisions to increase infrastructure to counter potential threats.  My company just recently sent an e-mail to the Lt. Governors office, to feel out the possibility of the State taking a serious interest in selling several million acres of Alaska's land.  The "feeler" was 15 billion for 5 million acres, to include sub-surface rights.
