An Airman assigned to the 109th Airlift Wing, Stratton Air National Guard Base, New York, performs pre-flight inspections on the flightline at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Oct. 31, 2019. The LC-130s and their crews help provide logistical and operational to the National Science Foundation-managed U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP). Operation DEEP FREEZE is the U.S. military’s contribution to the civilian-managed USAP. Due to Antarctica’s austere environment, Operation DEEP FREEZE is one of the most difficult peacetime missions the U.S military conducts. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Mikaley Kline)
