A frost covered mask obscures the face and weathered

A frost covered mask obscures the face and weathered face and cold-burned lips of Army Sgt. Justin Loer, assigned to 6th Engineer Battalion (Combat) (Airborne), a native of Gatesville, Texas, during Arctic Light Individual Training on Bulldog Trail, Dec. 6, 2012, in sub-zero conditions. ALIT is the United States Army Alaska's Cold Weather Indoctrination program. It gives all soldiers, regardless of their job, the foundation to successfully work, train, and go to war in some of the harshest environments in the world. (U.S. Air Force photo by Justin Connaher)
