A U.S. Airman assigned to the 27th Special Operations Wing hoists a hose over his shoulder during forward
arming and refueling point training (FARP) for ARCTIC EDGE 2025 (AE25) Aug. 18, 2025, at Cold Bay Airfield,
Alaska. AE25 provided Special Operations Command North the opportunity to test a range of capabilities and
response options to deter, disrupt, degrade, and deny competitor activity in the Arctic in support of globally
integrated layered defense of the homeland. 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. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Gracelyn Hess)
