Lt. Gen. Stephen N. Whiting, Space Operations Command commander, speaks with Airman 1st Class Avyon Pearson, 821st Security Forces Squadron, after recognizing her for superior performance while at Thule Air Base, Greenland, Dec. 17, 2021. Gen. Whiting and the SpOC command team traveled to Thule to meet with Airmen and Guardians from the 821st Air Base Group and the 12th Space Warning Squadron to gain a better understanding of their current challenges and successes. Thule is one of the most austere environments the Department of Defense operates from and all operations are powered and fueled internally, with the nearest populated village being over 70 miles away. Thule is the DoD’s northern most installation located 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle and only 947 miles south of the North Pole. (U.S. Space Force photo by Master Sgt. Sara Keller)
