An Air Station Kodiak MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter prepares to land on the flight deck of the Coast Guard Cutter Healy in the Chukchi Sea off the coast of Alaska, July 28, 2017. For 150 years, the Coast Guard’s ability to protect American citizens and interests in Alaskan and Arctic waters has grown alongside Alaska’s ever-increasing role in global commerce, and Arctic exploration and national sovereignty.
