The military has left a large footprint on Alaska. Former bases and early warning systems dot the landscape all across the state, much of it dating to the Cold War and World War II.

Theo Greenly reports from the Aleutians as a Report for America corps member. He got his start in public radio at KCRW in Santa Monica, California, and has produced radio stories and podcasts for stations around the country.
