Marines and sailors built shelters, made fires and trekked through Arctic terrain in Setermoen, Norway, as part of cold weather training to prepare for Nordic Response, a NATO exercise.
U.S. troops will join about 10,000 participants from more than a dozen countries for the land portion of the exercise in March. The exercise is designed to enhance military capabilities and allied cooperation in high-intensity warfighting in a challenging Arctic environment.
Nordic Response will test a variety of military activities, from command and control interoperability to combined joint operations and reacting against an adversary force.
