U.S. Navy Lt. Maria Jarrett, a military nurse with 1st Marine Division, Marine Expeditionary Force, has the temperature of her hands assessed by Dr. William D’Angelo, lead biomedical engineer at Naval Medical Research Unit-San Antonio, Texas, before engaging in Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) on a mannequin during cold weather medical training as part of exercise Arctic Edge 2024 (AE24) at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, March 5, 2024. This precautionary measure aims to prevent frostbite, considering that mild frostbite can occur when the skin temperature reaches around -1.5 degrees Celsius. Arctic Edge 2024 is a U.S. Northern Command-led homeland defense exercise demonstrating the U.S. military’s capabilities in extreme cold weather, joint force readiness, and U.S. military commitment to mutual strategic security interests in the arctic region.
