This field sketch, created with marker and pen on paper, depicts a U.S. Marine with 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, sighting in on a target during live-fire training in Setermoen, Norway, March 5, 2026. The field sketch was created to capture the fundamental combat marksmanship skills Marines are honing in preparation for exercise Cold Response 26. A key component of NATO's enhanced vigilance activity Arctic Sentry, exercise Cold Response 26 is a Norwegian-led winter military exercise designed to enhance collective defense capabilities and ensure U.S. readiness to rapidly deploy and seamlessly operate alongside NATO Allies in challenging arctic conditions.
