U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, Maj. Gen. James W. Ring, the Adjutant General of Virginia, and Lt. Gen. Pasi Välimäki, Commander of the Finnish Army, visit with Virginia Army National Guard Soldiers assigned to the West Point-based 237th Engineer Company, 276th Engineer Battalion, 329th Regional Support Group, Feb. 23, 2025, near Kouvola, Finland. The 237th is in Finland training with the Finnish Army’s Karelia Brigade as part of Arctic Forge 25, a U.S. Army multilateral exercise in Finland and Norway, focused on enhancing arctic military capabilities and interoperability with a focus on honing U.S. troops skills to survive, fight, and win in the Arctic’s austere conditions. The Virginia National Guard’s participation strengthens its partnership with the Finnish Defense Force, formalized in May 2024 through the Department of Defense’s State Partnership Program. During their visit, Ring, Kaine, and Välimäki received informational briefings on the exercise and enjoyed a meal with Soldiers. (U.S. Army National Guard photos by Staff Sgt. Marc Heaton)
