U.S. Airmen with the 673d Civil Engineer Group train during an Ability to Survive and Operate Rodeo at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Nov. 18, 2021. Participants work in teams and rotate to various training stations over a two-hour period. The rodeo provides Airmen in-depth instruction on basic warfare survival and operational skills, ranging from unexploded ordnance recognition and mitigation to transitioning between zones.
The roaring waterfall reverberates, calling out to the residents in Katmai. Answering the call is not the traditional local, but instead a swarm of brown bears, hungrily awaiting the arrival of salmon.
