    Sgt. Salvador Castro (right), a Public Affairs Noncommissioned Officer with the 27th Public Affairs Detachment, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 10th Mountain Division, receives instructions from a Finnish soldier to prepare for the Polar Plunge at the Sodankylä Training Area in Finland on Feb. 25, 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 PFC. Makenna Tilton)
