The Army in Alaska has two higher headquarters:

U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) and

Alaska Command (ALCOM).

USARPAC is the service component to

Pacific Command and ALCOM is a sub-unified

command also subordinate to Pacific Command.

The USARAK Commander wears two hats.

As the USARAK Commander, he responds directly to the

USARPAC Commander on service component issues;

and as the Deputy ALCOM Commander, he responds

directly to the ALCOM Commander on

Alaska-specific matters and joint responsibilities.
