In this photo print, taken during the Red Flag-Alaska exercise at Eielson Air Force Base in 2008, a soldier embodies bravery and resourcefulness as he uses red smoke to signal the nearby HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter. The soldier's role is that of a downed pilot behind enemy lines, desperately seeking extraction from his perilous situation. Against the backdrop of Alaska's snowy landscape, the soldier stands tall amidst towering trees, holding a transceiver in one hand while releasing vibrant red smoke with the other. His actions symbolize not only his determination to survive but also his unwavering trust in the skilled pilots aboard the Pave Hawk.
