Mount Foraker (17,400 feet) towers above Soldiers from B Company, 1st Battalion, 52nd Aviation Regiment as they offload equipment and supplies from a CH-47F Chinook helicopter after landing on Kahiltna Glacier. Three crews from the U.S. Army Alaska Aviation Task Force spent the week in Talkeetna, Alaska, training in high altitude flying through the Alaska Range. The mission for Sunday, April 24, included continuing a longstanding partnership with the National Park Service to shuttle equipment and supplies to the Park Service base camp on Kahiltna Glacier for the upcoming climbing season on Denali.
