Select NOREX participants had the opportunity to learn about dog sledding from a Norwegian dog-sledding team Feb. 9, 2025, in rural Sør-Trøndelag, Norway. The Guardsmen learned techniques for maneuvering the sleds, then took a four-dog team out for a short hike.
The Guardsmen participating in this training are a part of the Reciprocal Norwegian Exchange, commonly referred to as NOREX, a partnership program whereby approximately 100 Minnesota National Guardsmen and 100 Norwegian Home Guardsmen visit the opposite country to train and exchange cultural understandings. This is the 52nd year the two nations have participated in the NOREX and is one of the longest running state partnership programs in the world.
