John Barksdale, a NATO Winter Instructor assigned to 1st Battalion, 6th Field Artillery Regiment, 41st Field Artillery Brigade, holds a safety line while a 1-6 FAR Soldier jumps into freezing waters during arctic water survival training on a frozen lake during Exercise Joint Viking 25 in Setermoen, Norway, Feb. 28, 2025. The training involved jumping into a hole in the ice on the frozen lake in full uniform with a heavy rucksack, salvaging the rucksack, and getting back out of the water without assistance. Exercise Joint Viking 25 is a multilateral training event designed to enhance the U.S. Army's ability to collaborate with Arctic allies and respond swiftly to crises in challenging terrain. The exercise involved U.S. Soldiers, Marines, and personnel from Norway, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Denmark, and Great Britain, focusing on cold-weather skills and fostering cooperation among Allied forces.
