More than 60 distinguished visitors including Senator Lisa Murkowski, Special Representative for the Arctic Adm. Robert Papp (ret.), military and Department of Homeland Security flag officers, and Arctic nation observers debark a Coast Guard C-130 upon landing in Kotzebue, Alaska Aug. 24, 2016. They flew to Kotzebue to observe Exercise Arctic Chinook, which is a joint USCG and Northern Command-sponsored exercise on the State Department approved list of Arctic Council Chairmanship events. The Arctic mass rescue operation exercise scenario consisted of an adventure-class cruise ship with approximately 200 passengers and crew that experience a catastrophic event with the need to abandon ship. Arctic Chinook exercised elements of the Arctic Search and Rescue Agreement to include interoperability, cooperation, information sharing, SAR services, and joint exercise review.
