From the left, U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Shane Mirchard, assistant noncommissioned officer in charge of military conservation agents, and Zigmund Sigel, conservation law enforcement officer, dispose of a deceased swan on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, April 27, 2026. As the spring season rolls in, wildlife is more likely to appear around the installation and it’s the JBER Conservation Law Enforcement Offices job to ensure safe relocation and that proper interaction with the wildlife is achieved to help keep the community safe.
