Talk:Annette Island

ALCOM paragraph
I notice this paragraph has been tagged for some months, but I don't seen any discussion yet...

I feel the para should be removed. Reasons: the article is about Annette Is, yet the ALCOM para dominates the info. An article about this island should include things like flora/fauna, geology, etc. And nothing is stated about the timber industry that was dominant there once. It suggests this military IRT project is still in existence (which it isn't), and it reads like an advertisement of some sort. I worked there for 2 years. Some project data: it began approx 1997 and closed down in 2007. It was active only during the summer months (Apr-Sep) and was staffed by less than 300 service members at any one time. In other words, it was not a major military effort by any measure - it was a National Guard-centric training event despite the "joint" status...Also, the paragraph isn't written in a way generally understandable to non-military readers (example: references to the Missouri National Guard being in charge, while true, may be puzzling to someone reading this article and expecting info about an Alaska location)... A better option would be for someone who cares to write a Wiki article on "Joint Task Force Alaska Road" and link it to the Annette Is article if they desire....I'll await comments; if none are posted I'll remove this para in a few days.

 * Removed the ALCOM paragraph. The JTF mission was a time-limited affair and was closed several years ago. By the way, anyone with info (verifiable sources) on the logging effort on Annette Is may want to add something about that. The military's base camp and "Log Road" to and from the project site was established by loggers some years earlier. Looked to me like it had a major economic impact at one time.
