A University of Alaska Army ROTC cadet takes up a defensive position after unloading from an Alaska Army National Guard UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter assigned to 1-207th Aviation Regiment during an air assault training event at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Dec. 2. The Seawolf ROTC Detachment maneuvered across more than one mile of frozen terrain to assault opposition forces and secure its objective. The Alaska Army National Guard’s General Support Aviation Battalion routinely trains with all branches of the military as well as civilian agencies to increase its operational interoperability and to be ready for a wide range of federal and state missions.
