Polar Force 20-1

Two simulated ambulatory patients exit an Alaska Army National Guard UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter while participating in casualty evacuation operations during an Air Force readiness and training exercise, Polar Force 20-1, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Oct. 8, 2019. Designed to test JBER’s mission readiness, Polar Force 20-1 is a two-week exercise that hones Airmen’s skills and experience when facing adverse situations. Airmen refined their contingency tactics, techniques and procedures in support of the Pacific Air Force’s Agile Combat Employment concept of operations. Agile Combat Support excellence yields multi-domain operations success. Alaska Army National Guard aviators from the 1st Battalion, 207th Aviation Regiment provided air support for the training exercise.
