An Antarctica Service Medal lies on a table before being presented to a U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star (WAGB 10) crewmember on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, Feb. 3, 2024. Every year, a joint and total force team works together to complete a successful Operation Deep Freeze season. Active, Guard, and Reserve service members from the U.S. Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, and Navy work together to forge a strong Joint Task Force-Support Forces Antarctica that continues the tradition of U.S. military support to the United States Antarctic Program.
