VOA Exclusive: Inside US Military's Missile Defense Base in Alaska

There is no way to defend against an all-out nuclear war involving Russia, China and the United States, because each country possesses enough firepower to wipe out human civilization. But in a more limited conflict, involving a smaller number of intercontinental ballistic missiles from a rogue nation like North Korea, a military base in Alaska is a key part of America's defense. VOA Pentagon correspondent Carla Babb gained exclusive access inside Clear Space Force Station, which houses America's most sophisticated ground-based radar, and Fort Greely, near the Arctic Circle.

1:33 that is one of the most important manmade things ever built in the United States of America. This is not an overstatement.

It always cracks me up when North Korea or any other country test a missile just for a show of force. All it does is give the US, and allied nations, a training exercises in how to track, identify, and kill enemy missiles.

Ft Greely is key but don't forget Vandenberg Space Force Base also has GBIs to defend our nation from a rogue ICBM threat.
