Benedict, second from right, a native of California and the commanding general of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW), converse at Lulea, Sweden, March 13, 2024.

The training event marked the first U.S. F-35 landing in Sweden at Kallax Air Base. Exercise Nordic Response 24 is designed to enhance military capabilities and allied cooperation in high-intensity warfighting scenarios under challenging arctic conditions while providing U.S. Marines unique opportunities to train alongside NATO allies and partners.
