Members of the United States Coast Guard Search and Rescue Station, Duluth, Minn., ensure the safety of Air National Guard service members who participated in cold-water immersion as part of a Cold Weather Operations Course at Camp Ripley Training Center on Feb. 7, 2025. Class participants participated in a six-day, five-night Field Training Exercise where they traveled on foot in subzero temperatures, using land navigational skills, to build camps featuring either a 10-man Arctic tent or thermal shelters made from materials found in nature. Students were comprised of mostly Security Forces specialists, but also included a Maintenance Group Commander, Physician Assistant, Cyber Communications Specialist, and a Public Affairs Specialist. The course taught service members to conduct mission-essential tasking in extreme cold environments. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Audra Flanagan)
