Great article. My brother in law is in the Air Force, actually just made General this year. I guess I am about as proud of a brother in law as you can be. He and my sister were stationed in JBER a few years ago and got to visit them. That year two people were mauled by bears on the base but luckily survived. I remember my sister having to to go to bear survival training where they showed them how to use bear spray. They had moose always in their yard during winter time, which is probably more dangerous than a bear. Crazy place. We drove all over the lower portion of the base but could not go to the larger portion of base because of maneuvers. Seems they will fly guys in from all over the world and then drop them into Grizzly country for survival training. That place is massive. Would be very hard to police bear activity there unless you just try and wiped them out and then they would just run into town probably.
All I know is that the wildlife were their first and they don't sign treaties.
