    U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Blake Brostrom, a MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter pilot out of Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak, watches a hoist procedures demonstration while participating in a multi-agency hoist symposium at Bryant Army Airfield on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, July 21, 2025. Alaska Army National Guard Dustoff aviators hosted and collaborated with U.S. Coast Guardsmen assigned to Sector Western Alaska and U.S. Arctic out of Kodiak and Sitka Air Stations, Alaska Air National Guardsmen with the 176th Wing rescue squadrons, U.S. Army aviators from Fort Wainwright’s 1-52 General Support Aviation Battalion, Alaska State Troopers, and civilian search and rescue professional volunteers from the Alaska Mountain Rescue Group. The collaborative training drew on the participants’ varied backgrounds, experiences, and practices, to enhance hoist proficiency and collective readiness when conducting life-saving search and rescue missions in Alaska’s vast and austere terrain.
