Alaska Air National Guardsmen from the 176th Wing prepare

Alaska Air National Guardsmen from the 176th Wing prepare a C-130J "Combat King" aircraft to conduct an aerial site survey to assess damage after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Anchorage on Nov. 30, 2018. A broad range of men and women of the Alaska Air National Guard's 176th Wing -- including pilots, pararescuers, combat systems operators, loadmasters, public affairs specialists and others -- remained on duty to help with the initial response. Non-essential personnel have largely been released to attend to their families and homes as required. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt. Alicia Halla)
