U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Kepono Gowan, a native of Honolulu, Hawaii and a special operations independent duty corpsman with 2d Reconnaissance Battalion, 2d Marine Division, participates in a range during Patrol Course Winter in Bardufoss, Norway, Jan. 27, 2025. During the course, Norwegian Army Soldiers with the Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol Squadron led Marines through a variety of training exercises, improving the individual Marines capability to operate and survive in arctic environments. U.S. Marines are in Norway as part of Exercise Joint Viking 25, a Norwegian military exercise focusing on arctic cold-weather training and military-to-military engagements. The exercise demonstrates the Marine Corps' unique ability to rapidly deploy during a crisis and aims to enhance interoperability between the U.S. Marine Corps and NATO allies and partners.
