Service members from the Nordic countries deployed in Kabul, Afghanistan, gathered on Sunday 5 December to do Christmas cleaning and decorate. The five Nordic countries that are part of NATO’s Resolute Support Mission, run a mutual National Support Element, dubbed the Nordic Palace, which is their home away from home. This is where they will celebrate Christmas together this year, so a mutual effort was put into making the Nordic Palace feel like Christmas, including a fully decorated Christmas tree.
