Pararescuemen with the 212th Rescue Squadron, Alaska Air National Guard help residents of Galena, Alaska into a C-130 “Hercules” during an evacuation of the town, May 28. Galena flooded as the Yukon River overflowed during the breakup of winter ice. Residents of the town were transported to Fairbanks to wait for the water levels to subside. The Alaska National Guard sent multiple aircraft and rescue personnel to the rural Alaska village to assist with rescue efforts. Photo by Sgt.
