Volunteers with the Alaska National Guard, Salvation Army and local community partners, prepare to unload gifts from an Alaska Army National Guard UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter as part of Operation Santa Claus in Scammon Bay, Nov. 16, 2022. Operation Santa Claus is the Alaska National Guard’s yearly community relations and support program that provides gifts to children in remote communities across the state. Santa, Mrs. Claus, and more than a dozen helper elves flew to Bethel from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson via a 176th Wing C-17 Globemaster III aircraft and transferred to two Alaska Army National Guard Black Hawk helicopters to deliver 1,780 pounds of gifts, backpacks, hygiene supplies, and books to 325 children in Scammon Bay.
