Forward. Agile. Together. This is our foothold in the Arctic.

On Jan Mayen, U.S. Marines stand shoulder to shoulder with Norwegian and British forces during Operation Atlantic City. The allied force is operating from an austere, strategic location to control key maritime terrain and strengthen NATO’s ability to respond in the High North.

Atlantic City 26 is a Norwegian-led trilateral readiness initiative with the United Kingdom and the United States designed to develop and demonstrate expeditionary advanced base capabilities and validate combined fires, maritime domain awareness, and sea denial to reinforce the security and stability of the High North.

A launcher without a ship and a capability without the need for a fixed position.

The U.S. Navy’s Containerized Launching System, delivered by a U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster III, arrived in Norway during Operation Atlantic City 26, demonstrating how quickly expeditionary maritime missile systems can be positioned in the High North.

Its containerized design gives commanders a flexible, mobile launch capability, one that can be rapidly inserted, dispersed, and integrated with NATO forces.

Into the unknown.

In a contaminated environment, the first challenge is understanding what you’re walking into.

During Exercise Archipelago Endeavor 26, U.S. Marines and Swedish forces trained together in CBRN reconnaissance, sensitive site exploitation and decontamination—clearing unfamiliar spaces, investigating potential hazards, collecting samples and adapting to obstacles along the way.

Because when the situation is uncertain, interoperability and readiness matter.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Royal Family and the people of Norway on this sad day.

U.S. Marines with Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa stood alongside the Norwegian Armed Forces to render honors and pay respects following the passing of His Majesty King Harald V of Norway. The ceremony underscored the deep mutual respect, enduring bond, and shared commitment to defense that unite the United States and the Kingdom of Norway as vital NATO Allies in the High North.

The Baltic Sea is calling.

U.S. Marines and Sailors are preparing to return to Sweden for Exercise Archipelago Endeavor 26, where they will train alongside Swedish allies to strengthen combined capabilities in CBRN defense, medical crisis response, and amphibious operations.

The annual bilateral exercise brings U.S. and Swedish forces together to sharpen interoperability, strengthen tactical cooperation, and reinforce the shared commitment to security in the Baltic Sea region.

Lethal from the Dark

U.S. Marines and Allied partners extract heavy combat equipment from subterranean cave systems in Norway to test rapid mobilization during Exercise Atlantic City 26.

Deploying these pre-positioned assets under the cover of darkness directly supports the Nordic Plan theme of being Prepared for Rapid Response across the High North.

Marines in Africa: Nigeria

The U.S. Marine Corps and Nigerian forces have built a longstanding partnership through years of training, professional exchanges, and maritime security cooperation.

From combat lifesaving and ground patrolling to maritime operations and riverine security, these engagements strengthen capabilities, build interoperability, and support regional security.

Together, U.S. and Nigerian service members continue to build lasting partnerships through shared experience, trust, and a commitment to security.

Seconds Save Lives

U.S. Marines, Sailors, and Latvian medical personnel execute a comprehensive bilateral mass casualty training drill in Latvia.

Refining these critical, lifesaving procedures side-by-side ensures that U.S. and allied forces can respond rapidly and operate seamlessly together when it matters most. Building this trust on the ground is what guarantees our collective readiness across the Baltic region.

Marines in Africa: Senegal

Senegal has long served as a stabilizing force and essential security partner for the United States along the Atlantic coast of West Africa.

The U.S. Marine Corps has steadily built trust with Senegalese forces through years of joint training, deliberate planning, and professional military exchanges. Much of this cooperation has centered on refining specialized capabilities, particularly supporting the elite Compagnie de Fusiliers Marins Commandos in small craft operations and maritime interdiction. These persistent engagements have fostered regional self-reliance, ensuring Senegal can protect vital inland waterways and coordinate effectively before a crisis emerges. The strength of this established relationship and the ongoing need to counter border-crossing threats were key topics of engagement during AMFS 2026.

Knowledge Shared is Readiness Strengthened

U.S. Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 24 exchange tactics with Portuguese Navy special forces during a demolition range demonstration at Exercise BALTOPS 26 in Skrunda, Latvia.

Strong partnerships are built through hands-on training. By sharing techniques, refining procedures, and learning from one another, Allied forces improve their ability to operate together in complex environments and respond to shared security challenges across the Baltic region. Train together. Fight together.
