On August 6th, 2021, the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center (RCC) received a rescue request for a hiker in distress near Glacier Pass in Archangel Valley. Initial rescue efforts from a civilian component were postponed due to weather. The 176th initiated a launch of rescue crews using information from the hikers, launching an HH60G Pave Hawk with a Guardian Angel Team on board, from Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson (JBER). The Pave Hawk crew safely navigated to the hiking parties’ location where the team provided field care and hoisted the patient into the Pave Hawk, transporting the individual to A Mat-Su area hospital.
