It uses ground equipment caves in the storage, maintenance and prepositioning of equipment and supplies. Joint Viking, one of the region’s largest routine winter warfare exercises, is conducted by Norway with participation from NATO allies, including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and Finland. They will engage in joint land and sea operations, ensuring the effective defense of Norway. U.S. Marines will participate to exercise their ability to operate in the harsh Nordic environment. They will rehearse responding to a crisis with a rapid force generation and regimental-sized, trans-Atlantic deployment. (Official Marine Corps Photo/Cpl. Nicholas Martinez)
