    Freezing Winds

    Freezing Winds    

    Freezing Winds is an annual Finnish-Navy-hosted multinational naval exercise conducted in the Gulf of Finland and the greater Northern Baltic Sea. The exercise will feature an array of field training ranging from platoon-level live-fire, an amphibious assault, maritime strikes, and aviation sorties. The exercise is designed to increase interoperability and enhance strategic and tactical cooperation between Finland’s Navy and U.S. Forces. Marines, exercising Stand-in-Forces concepts from Marine Corps Force Design, will be positioned forward, shoulder-to-shoulder with members of Finland’s Navy and other NATO members participating in the exercise.
