Fort Wainwright launched a new free WiFi pilot program for Soldiers living in select barracks buildings as part of the Army’s ongoing effort to improve Soldier quality of life and modernize the barracks experience. Through an Intergovernmental Support Agreement with the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fort Wainwright partnered with UAF and Boldyn Networks to provide high-speed internet access at no cost to Soldiers. The initiative supports the Army Barracks Task Force’s focus on improving living conditions, readiness, and overall quality of life for warfighters. Fort Wainwright is the second Army installation to implement the pilot program. (U.S. Army video by Fort Wainwright Public Affairs)

The training culminated in a large-scale validation of the unit's ability to perform its wartime mission: providing essential medical care in an expeditionary environment.
