Sgt. Joseph Higgins, a UH-60 Black Hawk crew chief with Alpha Company, 1-168th General Support Aviation Battalion, Alaska Army National Guard, based at Fort Wainwright, conducts safety checks and prepares to help passengers offload the helicopter after arriving in Circle, Alaska, during Operation Santa Claus, Nov 6, 2024. Operation Santa Claus, a longstanding annual community outreach program of the AKNG, has provided gifts such as toys, backpacks, and books to children in remote Alaskan communities since 1956. The program partners with the Salvation Army and numerous volunteers to spread holiday cheer, continuing its tradition of support. Circle, Alaska, was selected for this year’s mission due to severe flooding that recently impacted the community. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sgt. Julie Avey)
