With an increasing footprint in the Arctic, the Corps may need a new snow vehicle
By: Shawn Snow  
 
The top Marine has been steadily increasing the Corps’ footprint in the arctic region, preparing Marines for a fight in extreme cold-weather environments as the U.S. defense strategy shifts toward near-peer threats.

It’s an oft repeated remark by Commandant Gen. Robert B. Neller that the cold weather business is something the Corps hasn’t done for some time.

And it certainly shows in some of the equipment the Corps uses in Norway, like the nearly 40-year-old Cold War relic over-the-snow vehicle, the Bv206.
