i. Purpose Statement: The purpose of this Open Source Curator on Arctic Militarization & Global Security is to provide a master collection of independently-verifiable primary sources regarding the militarization of, and international geostrategic interests related to, the geography along, and north of, the Arctic Circle (i.e. "Arctic Security").
ii. Target Audience: The target audience of this reference list includes both specialists and laypeople--any group or individuals interested in accessing the world's most reliable open sources concerning Arctic Security. Ideal for intelligence desks, newsrooms, academic researchers, think tanks, policymaker staff, military advisors, and self-informing citizens anywhere in the world.
iii. Original Value: At this time, there DOES NOT seem to be any online aggregator that collates all open sources relevant to Arctic Security and arranges them in one place for quick and easy reference. To this end, this Curator List seeks to help fill that information resource gap, by taking all global, reputable, and relevant URLs concerning Arctic Security and making them available here.
iv. How to Use: Many researchers save this webpage in their browser favorites, bookmark bar, startup tabs, or by other similar means. Analysts also save any number of the below URLs to create their own lineup of saved browser tabs, organized folders & files in their browser bookmark bar, and they've aggregated the social media accounts associated with many of the below media outlets.
v. About the "Curator's Top Twelve (12)": This list is intended to provide a quick reference for the most helpful sources, per what the Curator Team finds most efficacious for their research contracts. Thus, the Top Twelve is inclined to change over time as the Curator Team refines its research methodology with each & every contract. We simply wish to freely share that which helps us to craft the best OSINT products regarding Arctic Security with the rest of the global research community.

[CURATOR'S NOTE: The Danish Realm (i.e. the Kingdom of Denmark) is a sovereign state consisting of three constituent governments: Denmark (or "Denmark Proper"), Greenland, and the Faroe Islands. In many ways, the Danish Realm is the continuation of the former global colonial system that was the Dano-Norwegian Realm (i.e. the "Twin Realms"). The modern Danish Realm has an Arctic presence by way of Greenland and a "Sub-Arctic" presence by way of the Faroe Islands and Denmark Proper.]
