    In a scene more like a NASCAR or Stock Car race on a dirt track, these 29-ton armored vehicles and crew of three slid around corners while pushing the vehicles to their traction limits all to get a feel how the vehicle maneuvers on ice. This kind of training helps ensure the upcoming exercise is conducted safely.

    The Norwegian Telemark Battalion instructs U.S. Marine amphibious assault vehicle personnel from 2nd Amphibious Assault Battalion on techniques of driving tracked vehicles in winter conditions on an ice track in Rena, Norway, Feb. 15. In the weeks leading up to exercise Cold Response 16, at the end of the month, the two nations will conduct bilateral training to improve U.S. Marine Corps capability to operate in cold-weather environments.
