R.I.P., Brother.
Alaska has a lot of dangerous animals on the military installations. Ft. Greely also had wild buffaloes migrate through the base twice a year. You didn't get in their way. There were wolves on the base, as well.

..."The department said it can kill bears that are considered public safety threats or that are involved in deadly attacks. It said that game cameras the department placed during its investigation indicated that an adult bear had returned to the area and left the den site with the cubs.
The location of the bear that was involved in the Tuesday attack was unknown, the department said."
