Snow engulfs an Alaska Army National Guard UH-60L Black Hawk from the 1-207th Aviation Regiment as it takes off from Camp Mad Bull, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Jan. 10, 2023. The AKARNG aviators provided air support for visiting U.S. Air Force Special Tactics Airmen with the 24th Special Operations Wing, Detachment 1, also known as Deployment Cell or “D-Cell”. Based out of MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., D-Cell consists of 54 members across 15 job codes forming four agile teams, whose primary role is to “bare base” – to rapidly turn undeveloped locations into fully functional bases. The unit visited Alaska to train and test their capabilities in an arctic environment. (U.S. Air Force photo by Alejandro Peña)
