It is named for Captain Karen Schwall, the first female U.S. Army Officer in Antarctica, who specialized in logistics, and air and ship operations (1988–91). She became the Logistics Manager with Antarctic Support Associates (1991–96) and was central during the transfer of supply and transportation logistics from the military to civilian support.
