Pararescuemen from the 212th Rescue Squadron perform pre-jump inspections of their equipment aboard a C-17 Globemaster III flown by the 249th Airlift Squadron before parachuting to U.S. Navy Ice Camp Sargo in the Arctic Circle in support of Ice Exercise 2016 March 15. The two squadrons worked together to airdrop 10 PJs, two Alaska National Guard Soldiers and a 9,500-pound Arctic sustainment package to the camp. ICEX is a joint-force exercise which allows multiple military branches to assess readiness in the Arctic, increase operation experience in the region, develop partnerships and collaborative efforts, and advance understanding of the Arctic environment.
