Dynamic Front

The next iteration of exercise Dynamic Front takes place from Nov. 4-24, 2024 in Finland, Estonia, Germany, Poland, and Romania. It demonstrates NATO’s ability to share fire missions, target information, and operational graphics from the Arctic to the Black Sea.
The exercise increases the lethality of the Alliance through long-distance fires, builds unit readiness in a complex joint, multi-national environment, and leverages host nation capabilities to increase USARUER-AF’s operational reach. Dynamic Front is planned to include more than 1,800 U.S. and 3,700 multi-national service members from 28 Allied and partner nations.

Project Kickoff: SM-1A Former Nuclear Power Plant
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District

Baltimore District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will begin the decommissioning and dismantlement of the SM-1A Former Nuclear Power Plant on Fort Greely, Alaska, in 2024, just over 50 years after its final shutdown in 1972.

Baltimore District teams were on site in October 2023 for a project kickoff week, joining Garrison Commander Lt. Col. Keith Marshall for a site tour and meeting with contract awardees APTIM-Amentum Alaska Decommissioning, LLC.

Baltimore District health physicists also collected soil samples as part of preliminary tests before work begins. The Radiological Health Physics Regional Center of Expertise (RCX), based at Baltimore District, provides radiation safety and technical support to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies at home and abroad for projects involving all aspects of radiological work.

The construction of SM-1A was completed in 1962, and first criticality was achieved on 13 March 1962. It was designed to be used as an “inservice” test facility for this type of equipment in an arctic environment with a primary mission of supplying electrical power and heating steam for the utility systems at Fort Greely.
