An MC-130J Commando II, assigned to the 27th Special Operations Wing, flies over Alaskan terrain to a designated drop zone where U.S. East Coast-based Naval Special Warfare Operators (SEALs) conduct a free-fall jump, during ARCTIC EDGE 2025 (AE25) at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Aug. 11, 2025. Military free fall allows operators to insert into austere areas. ARCTIC EDGE 2025 (AE25) is a NORAD and U.S. Northern Command-led homeland defense exercise designed to improve readiness, demonstrate capabilities, and enhance Joint and Allied Force interoperability in the Arctic.
