The New York National Guards are set to complete a roofing project in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, expected to finish by August 2026. This project involves constructing a pitched roof over an existing flat roof to mitigate water leakage issues.
The initiative includes 46 Soldiers across two rotations from the New York Army National Guard's 1156th Engineer Company, which specializes in building construction and maintenance. Greenland Airports will provide the design and materials, while the National Guard will supply the labor.
The project highlights logistical challenges inherent in Arctic construction and offers Soldiers essential hands-on experience. Successful completion will improve living conditions for Airmen associated with the 109th Airlift Wing’s Arctic missions.
