Alaska Air Guard trains to support NASA human spaceflight program
Tech. Sgt. Dan Lutz, a pararescueman with the 212th Rescue Squadron, Alaska Air National Guard, floats in for a landing after conducting a freefall parachute jump in Waialua, Hawaii, Feb. 4, 2021, during Exercise H20. Alaska Air National Guardsmen were in Hawaii training during Exercise H20, January and February, honing their long-range search and rescue capability in support of the NASA human spaceflight program they are responsible for supporting. The Air Guard’s 176th Wing at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, is the only wing in the U.S. Air Force, Guard, and Reserve, with C-17 Globemaster III aircraft and pararescue personnel that combine to provide long-range search and rescue—able to travel the furthest distance in the shortest time, in response to a life-threatening scenario.
