Artic Defense - U.S And Canada Join In Winter Maneuvers Temperatures ranging to 52 degrees below zero American and Canadian troops conduct a mock defense of Yukon Territory from an attack from Alaska - logical striking point for Russia. Sign reading, "Army Headquarters - Sweetbriar." Men dressed in their winter gear entering a bunker. Next shot is American and Canadian troops poising in front of a prop plane. Planes taking off pretending to be enemy plane and there is a shot of the military shooting artillery at the plane. Planes overhead dropping parachutes and there's a military man in contact with the planes overhead. There's a mock battle going on. Men in white cold weather suits.
