    Pfc. Makenna Tilton, a Public Affairs Mass Communication Specialist with the 27th Public Affairs Detachment, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 10th Mountain Division, uses ski poles to pull herself out of the water during the Polar Plunge at the Sodankylä Training Area in Finland on Feb. 27, 2025. The Polar Plunge is a cold-water immersion exercise where soldiers submerge themselves in freezing water. It is designed to test their ability to endure extreme cold and build the mental resilience needed to operate in harsh Arctic conditions. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Salvador Castro)
