🗣️About Colonel Russell Vanderlugt:
Colonel Russ Vanderlugt assumed command of the 11th Airborne Division’s Arctic Aviation Command at Fort Wainwright on August 8, 2024. The Arctic Aviation Command is a brigade-level organization consisting of 71 aircraft and all aviation elements assigned to the US Army’s Arctic Division (Russ is a UH-60 Blackhawk pilot). In his previous assignment, he served at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson as Joint Director of Strategy and Plans, J-5, for the Alaskan NORAD Region and Alaskan Command – a joint command reporting to US Northern Command. He holds a doctorate in Arctic and Northern History from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. His PhD dissertation, “Among the Dene: Lieutenant Allen’s 1885 trans-Alaska Expedition,” highlights first encounters and the relationships between the US Army and Alaska Native residents of the Tanana, Copper, and Koyukuk Valleys. While serving on active duty in the Army over the past 24 years, he and his spouse have raised four children – now all teenagers – two of whom were born in Fairbanks.
