Gov. Mike Dunleavy is encouraging the U.S. Navy to expand SEAL training in Alaska.
to Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro, Dunleavy invited the military branch to train in Alaska after a Washington state court ruling prevented Navy SEALs from performing training exercises on state park land there.
“Alaska’s truly a fortress,” Dunleavy said in an interview. “It’s a fort that extends out into the Pacific into the Arctic, and so we’re very close to some of neighbors that, you know, we’re not on the best of terms with right now. And if there was ever a conflict god forbid, this is a lot different than Iowa or Indiana.”
“Given what’s happening in the northern hemisphere right now ... with conflicts going on in our proximities to some nefarious neighbors, this would be a great training ground, training venue, also for those reasons,” Dunleavy said.that a judge ruled SEALs won’t be able to use Washington State Parks as training grounds. The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission had previous voted to allow that, but the judge found the commission acted outside of its purview.
