will be the largest mass paradrop j
of men and materials ever at- j
| tempted in Alaska and the con- j
i struction of a snow-compacted |

well as to test the ability of Army j
and Air Force personnel and ;
! equipment to operate and func- i
tion in the extreme cold of in-!
i terior Alaska against a theoretical j
enemy. Past weather statistics for i
[ the area indicate troops may ex- j
! pect to face prolonged sub-zero 1
| temperatures which will range as i
i low as the minus 50’s.
Participating in addition to Al
i askan-based troops will be 503rd
Airborne Regimental Combat
