Soldiers of U.S. Army Alaska’s 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team demonstrate the use of the ahkio sled to the 35th Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, Gen. Daniel B. Allyn, at Yukon Training Area near Fort Wainwright, Alaska, Nov. 8, 2015. Ahkio sleds are unique to Alaska units and allow a squad of Soldiers to transport all of the food, fuel and equipment necessary to sustain themselves while operating in the snow. As the Army’s northernmost BCT, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team Soldiers are the U.S. Army’s experts in extreme cold weather and high altitude ground operations. (Photo by Capt.
