Spartan Pegasus is a cold-weather, rapid-entry operation demonstrating U.S. Army Alaska’s unique capacity to provide rapid-response ground forces to the joint forces commander throughout remote, Arctic environments. The iteration of Spartan Pegasus is integrated with Exercise Vigilant Shield 15, which is the annual North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command homeland defense exercise.
