Senior Master Sergeant Sascha Kvale, a combat control flight chief in Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Special Tactics Squadron, prepares to extricate himself from an “ice bath” in a frozen lake in Grubbnäsudden, Sweden, Jan. 14, 2022. Fifteen members from the 123rd STS — including combat controllers; pararescuemen; special reconnaissance personnel; search, evasion, resistance and escape troops; and support Airmen — came here to build upon their relationship with European partners during an arctic warfare training course.
