The 6th ID (L) was stationed at Richardson & Wainwright during that era. Canon has them airlifted to Norway early in the war and later withdrawing to Germany. Not that it matters.
As a resident of Anchorage at the time, I always thought it was goofy that the 6th's light fighters were deployed and defense of the Last Frontier was left to the Mountain troops and a bunch of Lower 48 weekend warriors, but whatever. Turns out I wasn't the one it had to make sense to.

Yeah, sending the 10th to Alaska/Canada instead of the 6th was one of the T2k things that had me scratching my head. I would think you'd want the 6th to go since they'd practically be in their own backyard. Easily fixed in my campaign though

Not that that information is needed now, but I was curious. |
It's in the 1st edition NATO Vehicle Guide. If memory serves correct, Canada was left out of the 2nd edition NATO guide. I don't know why though.
The Canadians on this board can provide much better info that what is in the 1st edition. It left out most of the Canadian militia (US National Guard/Reserve equivalent). There is also a Challenge T2k article floating around about Canadian Rangers, which is a reserve force that serves as guides and scouts when mobilized. A good number of Canadian Rangers are First Nation people (Native American/Indians in American speak).
Oh and the Anglo German brigade comprised of British and German units stationed in Canada.
