Minnesota National Guardsmen shovel out snow caves on the mountain top near Haltdalen, Norway, Feb. 11, 2025. The service members were tasked with building snow caves in which they were to sleep at night. The skill is useful in the event that a soldier or airman had to survive without shelter in a cold-weather situation.
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.
