Pins signifying the Antarctica Service Medal sit ready to be given to the crew of U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star (WAGB 10) while the cutter transits the Ross Sea during Operation Deep Freeze, Jan. 17, 2025. Every year, a joint and total force team works together to complete Operation Deep Freeze. Active, Guard, and Reserve service members from the U.S. Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, and Navy work together to forge a strong Joint Task Force-Support Forces Antarctica (JTF-SFA) that continues the proud tradition of U.S. military support to the United States Antarctic Program.
