    A person wearing winter camouflage (white pattern overgarment), a black beanie, tan neck gaiter, and tan gloves is working on what appears to be a military vehicle or structure topped with birch logs and branches. The setting is a cold, overcast winter environment with bare trees visible in the background. The activity suggests field camouflage construction or concealment work, consistent with military cold-weather operations.

    A Marine with Company G, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division secures cut down tree tunks to a Bandvagn 206 to use for traction if the vehicle gets stuck. Marines and Norwegian soldiers spent three days learning to work together and how to operate in the Norwegian winter environment to prepare the Marines and soldiers for Exercise Cold Response, which is a multinational and multilateral training exercise. The exercise will feature various types of military training including maritime, land and air operations. The location, above the Arctic Circle in northern Norway, provides a unique cold-weather environment for all forces involved to learn and develop procedures from one another.
