Alaska National Guard Soldiers with 1st Battalion, 207th Aviation Regiment ensure their UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter is in working order before flying out of Bryant Army Airfield on Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson, Alaska, Mar. 4, 2018. The Guardsmen are preparing for an upcoming training mission several miles north of the Alaskan coastline. This training is linked to the Alaska National Guard’s Arctic Eagle 2018 and U.S. Navy’s Ice Exercise. A number of Department of Defense exercises afford participating forces the opportunity to operate in a joint environment while assessing the ability to conduct sustained operations in arctic conditions including Arctic Eagle 2018, Alaskan Command’s Exercise Arctic Edge, the U.S. Army’s Arctic Pegasus, and the U.S. Navy’s ICEX. ICEX 2018 is a five-week exercise that allows the U.S. Navy to assess its operational readiness in the Arctic, increase experience in the region, advance understanding of the Arctic environment, and continue to develop relationships with other services, allies and partner organizations. The exercises occur in February and March 2018, and dates for each exercise varies. Run Time: 2:56 .
