Maj. Gen. Susan Desjardins, Air Mobility Command's Director of Strategic Plans, Requirements and Programs at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., provides remarks during the presentation of a commemorative, centenary, first-edition Antarctic airway chart to the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog in Saint Louis, Mo., Nov. 2. The chart, created by Col. Ronald Smith who was commander of Operation Deep Freeze from 2005 to 2008, shows “Airway 338” waypoints with each waypoint named after sled dog teams of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and the pony pack team of British explorer Capt. Robert Falcon Scott. The aeronautical chart is used in international flight navigation from New Zealand to Antarctica -- especially for Operation Deep Freeze. Smith is General Desjardins' Air National Guard advisor.
