An HH-60M Black Hawk crew chief and hoist operator with G Company, 2-211th General Support Aviation Battalion, Alaska Army National Guard, guides the hoist cable from the helicopter down to an awaiting flight medic, as the entire crew prepares to evacuate a notional casualty deep in the Chugach mountains east of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, July 26, 2023. AKARNG flight crews and aircraft routinely receive requests from the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center to conduct rescues and medevacs in the vast terrain across southcentral Alaska. The crew chiefs and flight medics wear red jackets for enhanced visibility and identification during operations, ensuring clear recognition and effective communication in challenging environments.
