Lt. Col. John Romspert, a combat rescue officer with the 212th Rescue Squadron, with Lt. Col. Nathan Schauermann, commander of the 144th Airlift Squadron, attached to his harness, floats in for a landing after conducting a tandem freefall parachute jump from a C-17 Globemaster III in Waialua, Hawaii, Feb. 4, 2021. The Alaska Air National Guardsmen were participating in Exercise H2O January and February, training for their long-range search and rescue capability in support of the NASA human spaceflight program. The Air Guard’s 176th Wing at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, is the only wing in the U.S. Air Force, Guard, and Reserve, with C-17 Globemaster III aircraft and pararescue personnel that combine to provide long-range search and rescue—able to travel the furthest distance in the shortest time, in response to a life-threatening scenario.
