    Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson   

    Army Maj. William Whaley, assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, helps fellow soldiers hold down a tethered Combat SkySat military retransmission platform against blowing winds at Forward Operating Base Sparta on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Oct. 9, 2013. The unique SkySat system has a tethered and free-floating version, can serve as a repeater for hand-held military communications equipment, which has a normal range of about two kilometers and expands that to approximately 500 miles, and can be set up and rapidly operational on the battlefield.
