A U.S. Airmen assigned to the 27th Special Operations Wing run a hose down a runway during a forward
arming and refueling point (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)
