Figure i-2 Deck and Science Divisions recover a scientific mooring during HLY-11-03. Figure i-3 CGC HEALY escorts T/V RENDA through the ice en route Nome. ii iv Executive Summary Arctic West Summer-Winter 2011 (AWSW-11) consisted of four scientific research missions and the landmark Nome Energy Support Operation. HLY-11-01 was conducted by researchers from Stanford University and NASA using various optical tools on the ice, in the water, and in the air, to measure light properties. HLY-11-02 was a joint operation with the Canadian Coast Guard collecting data in support of delineation of the U.S. and Canadian Extended Continental Shelves. The mission was focused on multibeam sonar bottom-mapping and escort of CCGS LOUIS S. ST. LAURENT to facilitate use of sensitive multi-channel seismic equipment. HLY- 11-03 was a recurrent mission to conduct annual service of hydrographic moorings to study the Alaskan Boundary Current. HLY-11-04 marked the first ever winter research mission. Data and samples were collected to characterize the overwintering behavior of the copepod. The Nome Energy Support Operation extended the deployment to escort the Russian tanker vessel RENDA to deliver 1.3 million gallons of fuel Nome, AK. Following successful delivery of fuel to Nome, HEALY returned to Base Seattle on 05 February 2012 after 254 consecutive days away from homeport.

    Department of Defense Report to Congress on Arctic Operations and the Northwest Passage OUSD (Policy) May 2011 Preparation of this report/study cost the Department of Defense a total of approximately $128,171 for the 2011 Fiscal Year. Generated on 2011May19 1652 RefID: 5-750938C EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report responds to House Report 111-491, page 337, to accompany H.R. 5136, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, which requested the Department of Defense (DoD) provide a report on Arctic operations addressing strategic national security objectives, needed mission capabilities, an assessment of changing the Unified Command Plan (UCP), needed basing infrastructure, and the status of and need for icebreakers. Section One provides the overarching context for the rest of the report and assesses the national security objectives in the region. Section Two assesses the capabilities needed to support the identified strategic objectives and, where gaps are identified, describes mitigation approaches to address them. Section Three assesses the advantages and disadvantages of amending the Unified Command Plan to designate a single Combatant Commander for the Arctic region. Section Four assesses the basing infrastructure needed to support the identified strategic objectives, including the need for a U.S. deep-water port in the Arctic. Section Five assesses the status of and need for icebreakers in the context of the capabilities to support national security objectives. The Arctic1 is warming on average twice as fast as the rest of the planet, resulting in increased human activity in the region. Although some perceive that competition for resources and boundary disputes may result in conflict in the Arctic, the opening of the Arctic also presents opportunities to work collaboratively in multilateral forums to promote a balanced approach to improving human and environmental security in the region.

  • The U.S. Coast Guard Anticipates Deploying USCGC HEALY For
    Credit: U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer Patrick Kelley The U.S. Coast Guard anticipates deploying USCGC HEALY for operational exercises in and around Baffin Bay in late summer 2021, which will include a transit through the Northwest Passage. The UNOLS Office and the AICC are working with the Coast Guard to help the research community identify and coordinate Science of Opportunity uses of HEALY during this deployment. The Northwest Passage transit will commence from Dutch Harbor, AK in mid-August and proceed east through the Northwest Passage ending in Nuuk, Greenland in mid-September. This portion of the trip is principally a transit and will afford the opportunity for passive science programs only (pending approval by the Government of Canada). The Coast Guard anticipates making up to ~20 berths available to science during the transit through the Northwest Passage. HEALY’s return transit to Seattle is not yet defined. The Baffin Bay cruise will embark from Nuuk, Greenland on or around September 14, 2021 and debark in Nuuk on or around October 19, 2021. This nominal time frame will be used to support science programs but there is strong potential that USCG operations could interrupt science operations on an infrequent basis. The Coast Guard anticipates making up to ~30 berths available during exercises in and around Baffin Bay. The Coast Guard is requiring that researchers interested in conducting science aboard HEALY during either its transit east through the NWP, or during its operations in and around Baffin Bay, submit a one-page Letter of Interest (LOI) by July 15 2020.
