Christopher Wand, Operation Colony Glacier mountaineering team non-commissioned officer in charge and pathfinder; Capt. David Reynhout, physician assistant and Operation Colony Glacier Mountaineering team member; and Staff Sgt. Hayden Berg, Operation Colony Glacier mountaineering team member, all attached to the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 11th Airborne Division, prepare to repel into a crevasse to search through debris at Colony Glacier, Alaska, Aug. 8, 2024. The soldiers each attended mountaineer training to prepare then to support recovery efforts on the glacier. Operation Colony Glacier is an effort to recover the remains of service members and wreckage from a C-124 Globemaster II that crashed in November 1952 with 52 military members on board. As of May 2024, 47 of the 52 service members have been identified. Great care is taken for the safe recovery of human remains, personal effects and equipment at the crash site. Consideration for surviving family members of those recovered is a top priority in the recovery of remains at the site.(U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Don Hudson)
