After spending the day learning about Vikings at the Stiklestad National Cultural Center, Minnesota National Guardsmen participating in the Norwegian Exchange competed in competitive Vikings games at Værnes Air Station in Stjørdal, Norway, Feb. 17, 2025. Soldiers and Airmen competed in a series of tasks in order to earn the right to be called a Viking.
The Guardsmen 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.
