The head of the U.S. Marine Corps stopped in Anchorage and the interior this weekend to evaluate new opportunities for training. But some see it as a potential first step in building a permanent presence.
Wearing scuffed combat boots in the parking lot just outside the Mountain View VFW hall in Anchorage, Republican Senator Dan Sullivan sounded delighted as he introduced the country’s top marine.
“It’s my distinct honor as a marine myself to have the commandant of the marine corps in Alaska,” Sullivan said during brief remarks to the press.
