Strategic Outlook and Integration Panel
Panel Purpose Executive Summary: This “wrap-up” panel brings a set of diverse Flag Officer & Senior level policy makers and strategists, who will provide their multi-disciplined vantages and Arctic-minded experience to address the compelling insights to the ALCOM Arctic Maritime Symposium, while offering reflections for onward future action. Additional/relevant information: symposium participants will gain useful action points that advance new Arctic strategies in development across the U.S. government, ideas for improved collaboration in a diverse array of measures (and estimated resource measures) that support improved Arctic presence and shaping the Arctic region in accordance with U.S. and allied interests.

5 questions to consider:
Strategic Outlook and Integration Panel 5 questions to consider: Quick wins? What are practical solutions that uniformed forces can pursue within existing policy and authorities that better secure and defend U.S. and Allied interests in the Arctic region? Strategic Takeaways? As the concluding panel, what are the strategic “take- aways”/conclusions of the overall symposium? In effect, what should the summary report include as a “Statement of Conclusions”? Comparing/contrasting the Arctic to other regions, what are some “strategic insights” that can be leveraged to advance U.S. and Allied interests in the Arctic? New Policy? How should future policy be developed and established to address prior symposium discussions? New Opportunities? How should policies/strategies attempt to capitalize on the realistic opportunities? Arctic “National Interests?” How could/should policy be shaped to facilitate U.S. Arctic maritime national interests?

The role of Non-DoD Agencies in Arctic Policy
Arctic Security is much more complicated than the Russians and US fighting over a lost piece of microfilm as they did in Ice Station Zebra. At CNA we have been examining a wide variety of challenges that HAVE to be worked in the near term. These issues included Standards for offshore oil and gas rigs Mandatory liability standards for offshore oil and gas rigs Increased insurance for oil and LNG carriers and other vessels carrying dangerous cargoes Establishing some standards to regulate FDI flows into the Arctic Region. Establishing an Arctic Development Bank

Policy Recommendations
Multilateral FDI Review Agreement Defines the characteristics of “Good FDI” Reciprocal adoption of FDI principles by countries and cross- reporting Creation of an Arctic Development Code Standards for projects that could impact the marine environment Harmonized environmental impact assessments Publically available Records of Decisions Harmonized standards for mines, oil rigs, and refineries Legally binding Establishment of an Arctic Development Bank. Quick way to implement standards; provide alternative to PRC funding

Who Provides The Financing
There are no do-overs in the Arctic – sparse infrastructure, long supply chains, and challenging environment mean that small accidents can become major catastrophes Coast Guard can handle most issues BUT prevention is critical since resources are very limited Whole of Government Approach: the DoD should be pushing the appropriate agencies to ensure that DoD won’t be left holding the bag after they clean up someone else’s mess Serious money (and legislative) for infrastructure and project finance are needed to make this happen and will conceivably break some bureaucratic china. It is in DOD’s interest to push the rest of the government to push for the resources to make this happen or else it will land in their lap by default.
