Description

ARC10429/AR62 ALASKA

Exercise Great Bear Tower Bluff, 3400 feet, is the focal point for TF2/60 and 1st DSG VHF entry into the microwave trunk system which provided communications, both telephone and teletype, to Mohawk, Mailcall, and throughout the entire area. Entirely dependent upon helicopter support for establishment and re-supply. All buildings were constructed by Signal Co., USARAL in July, 1961 and jointly staffed during Great Bear by Signal Co USARAL and the 362nd Signal Co personnel under the control of Lt. Harold L. Rees of 362nd Signal Co. A total of 1 officer and 20 enlistedmen have made the bluff their home since 15 January. 17 Feb 62 Sp5 Tony Gritz

Exercise Great Bear (1961-62) was a large-scale Cold War-era joint operational force-on-force military winter maneuver in Alaska, and was significant because it marked the first time in 13 years that Canadian troops had maneuvered in Alaska. It incorporated an interoperability concept with integrated conventional and Special Forces components in an austere environment.
