The two squadrons worked together to airdrop 10 PJs, two Alaska Army National Guard Soldiers and a 9,500-pound arctic sustainment package to the camp. ICEX is a joint-force exercise which allows multiple military branches to assess readiness in the Arctic, increase operation experience in the region, develop partnerships and collaborative efforts, and advance understanding of the arctic environment.
