Alaska Air National Guard Senior Airman Katlyn Schlumbohm, a KC-135 crew chief with the 168th Wing, volunteers as a security detail, assisting with traffic coordination during the 2025 Iditarod in Fairbanks, Alaska. During the historical restart in Fairbanks, Airmen from the Alaska Air National Guard's 168th Wing volunteered to support and strengthen bonds in the tight-knit Alaskan community. Their assignments ranged from dog handling to security and traffic coordination. The mushers departed Fairbanks, with teams leaving in two-minute intervals, signaling the official start of the grueling race. The 2025 Iditarod, an enduring symbol of Alaska’s resilience and adventurous spirit, saw 33 mushers and their teams embark on the longest trail in Iditarod history, spanning 1,128 miles from Fairbanks to Nome.
